Ever wondered if there's something much bigger than you out there? Those who reside at at Salzedas Monastery may be able to give you an answer.

This residence for monks is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Tarouca. But Salzedas Monastery isn't the only drawcard here. Quinta de Santa Eufemia, Nossa Senhora dos Remedios, and Lamego Cathedral are some other interesting attractions close by.

We enjoyed our stay here, and they arranged a wonderful day of wine tasting and a cooking class for us. The things we did not like, though, were that the gym in the basement was very warm, and also the outdoor pool was not open, even though it was quite hot out. The breakfast was nice. There is not much to do in the immediate area, so you would want to have a car, or a driver arranged for your time there. We did not use any of the spa services. They have bikes to use, but we did not inquire about where you would take them.

What's a road-trip without unplanned stops?

One such for us was in the town of Lamego. We spent some moments admiring its cathedral. Right in front of the church was a courtyard surrounded by carved pillars with statues. And ahead of that, was this breathtaking view of the town. This recommendation came from our fantastic hosts at Quinta de Tourais in Douro Valley.
