Pygmalion’s story dramatizes a conflict between material lust and one’s duties to family and friends. Pygmalion could honor his sister, Dido, and Sychaeus on their wedding day, but he recognizes an opportunity for personal advancement in killing Sychaeus and seizing his gold. Pygmalion could then attempt to make amends by confessing to Dido and accepting responsibility for his crime, but he instead dishonors her further (and thus preserves his own wealth) by lying to her about the nature of her husband’s death. Virgil states that Pygmalion is deaf to the basic needs of his sister, blinded by his desire for wealth, and reduced to the status of a monster, barely worthy of the label “human being.” The urge to shore up his material wealth dehumanizes and desensitizes him, and the lust for power triumphs over his fraternal responsibilities (which he does not even seem to recognize in his quest for self-advancement). For those who don’t have much time in Porto, a single day trip will allow you a brief, but enjoyable experience of the Douro Valley. Although, with so many exceptional things to see and do, we recommend staying at least three days to really absorb the rich culture and history of the region.One of the main reasons people travel through the Douro Valley is to obviously visit the “quintas,” which are a vital part of the Douro Valley history as they have produced the world famous Port wine for centuries. If you want to get involved in the action, most of them will offer wine tours in Portugal through their grounds and most importantly: Wine tasting sessions! galgTop 5 “quintas” to visit in the Douro Valley Quinta das Carvalhas is probably the largest and one of the most emblematic wineries in the Douro Valley. It’s located at the mountain of Carvalhas, which is 550 metres (1804 feet) tall and offers a stunning 360 degree view over the Douro Valley. On offer is a wine tour where you can taste their wines and learn about the wine production process. At the beginning of spring, you’ll find beautiful patches of white and pink from the almond trees throughout the Douro Valley with movement on the vineyards preparing the vines for summer. Towards the end of summer, most “quintas” are in harvest and will feature events where you can take part in the winemaking process. Some are still using the traditional way of crushing the grapes by foot.

In late October, the valley turns golden with the arrival of autumn and it’s absolutely perfect for photography enthusiasts who visit the many stunning viewpoints in the Douro Valley. There are several types of cruise boats available from day trips, for time-sensitive travellers, to multi-day cruises for a more relaxed and extended visit. Prices for cruises start from approx €70. Tour by Getyourguide Travelling by train will no doubt inhibit your ability to truly explore the region to its full potential. Instead, I recommended renting a car and explore the very best of the Douro Valley at your own pace and leisure.

No matter which mode of transport you choose, each guarantees an equally impressive and picturesque journey that will amaze you.
