WANNA GO?

Multiple airlines fly to Lisbon and Porto.

Car rental is optimal for seeing the region.

Lazarim is east of Porto, just south of the Douro River.

Lamego is an administrative center and pilgrimage destination, site of the magnificent Santuario de Nossa Senhora dos Remedios as well as other churches, museums, and restaurants.

I stayed at the centrally-located Albergaria do Cerrado, a no-frills business hotel with a wonderful dog. There’s a helpful regional tourist office in town.

In 2007, the Entrudo de Lazarim is February 16th and 17th. 

Weekend packages, including meals, begin at 195 euros per person, are available from regional country inns (English may be limited on websites):

Quinta do Terreiro

Quinta dos Viscondes da Várzea
 
Casa de Santo António de Britiande

In Addition:

Wineries dot the terraced hills and line both sides of the Douro.

For history, architecture, tile and artworks:  Cisterian monasteries Sao João de Tarouca and Santa María de Salzedas, and the medieval fortified Ucanha bridge.
