The Penedo Durão Viewpoint, in Freixo de Espada à Cinta, is one of the most impressive spots in the entire Douro International. At the top of a huge cliff, this viewpoint offers sweeping views over the Douro River, the Saucelle Dam and the escarpments that mark the natural border between Portugal and Spain. It is the perfect place to appreciate the grandeur of the cliffs and the powerful silence of nature. In addition to the breathtaking landscape, Penedo Durão is also known for bird watching. Here, it is common to see griffon vultures, falcons, Egyptian vultures and other species gliding over the valley — a unique spectacle for nature lovers and photographers. Easily accessible and open 24 hours a day, this is one of those places that makes us feel small in the face of the immensity of the Douro. Whether to watch the sunrise or sunset, or simply to take a deep breath and contemplate, the Penedo Durão Viewpoint is a must-see in the region.
