Post Camino Tour

[DowtyCamino]

Looking for recommendations for a Post Camino Tour (just a couple days). I've already walked to Fisterra and don't wish to repeat that. I'm considering making my way (bus/train) to some lovely wine regions in Portugal - possibly a even a papered wine tour.

Can anyone make a suggestion on where to go and how best to get there.

I'd then depart from OPO or Lisbon. OPO is difficult since flights seem to be quite awkward getting home. Lisbon is much easier for flights...or I could make my way back to Madrid.

I'm really just looking for options to consider for 2-4 days of holiday after walking from SJPdP.

What's a "papered" wine tour?

I think that must be wine in a paper box

I think maybe "papered" should have been "pampered"?

If you fly out/back from Porto you could just explore that city a few days, including a tour to the port wine cellars ;-) Buen Camino, SY

If you're flying home from Lisboa, Sintra is very nice, with lots of lovely places to visit. And Lisbon itself is of quite wonderful - I'm fortunate enough to go there several times a year for work.

Hi
You can take the train at the station of Porto and go to Pocinho station, almost always along the Douro river.
The most beautiful region of the vineyards (to me) is situated between Peso da Regua and Pocinho.

Thanks all.

FYI: A "papered wine tour" is a spell-check version of a "pampered wine tour" as suggested!
Last Camino I treated my wife to 2 nights at the Parador-Santiago as a gift for walking Spain for our anniversary.
I thought something like Portugal would be nice this year.

Hi: Porto is definitely worth a few days. Very beautiful city, and lots of chances to take wine tours and port tasting tours. Just my opinion, but I think Porto is more interesting than Lisbon.
