Miradouro do Monte de São Domingos

Located on the São Domingos Hill, in Fontelo. It has amazing views of the Douro region. It is considered one of the most spectacular belvederes in the entir Douro region. One may view the parishes of Lamego, Tarouca, Resende, Mesão Frio, Régua, Santa Marta de Penaguião and Vila Real, among so many. Viewing the farms by the Douro river on both banks is an extraordinary experience. For those who come from the northern shoreline, the imposing Marão Mountain os the true entrance gate to the Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro region. From the foothill of this belvedere, one sees the important city of Régua, where Douro wines are produced. To the left, there is the Meadas mountain and below the city of Lamego, quite famed for its "romaria" (a popular celebration) of Our Lady of Remedies in September, whose shrine, with its lovely stairwell that starts down in the city, may be viewed from here. In the São Domingos Hill there is a camping ground.
