RABELO DAY
About
Rabelo Day is a practical notebook for choosing a day out in the Portuguese Douro.
Why the rabelo?
The rabelo, the Douro's wooden boat, once carried barrels down the river. Its name recalls the link between wine, villages and water.
How Rabelo Day prepares its guides
Rabelo Day compares trips by departure point, total duration and commentary language. Civitatis listings are the reference for routes, indicative prices and reviews. The guides date their data and cite useful official sources, including Comboios de Portugal, Visit Portugal and UNESCO.
The images
The visuals are original illustrations inspired by the Douro. They evoke the landscape and do not show a specific trip, boat or estate.
