Shadows and glows of the Pays de la Loire

The Pays de la Loire is a region in western France made up of five departments: Loire Atlantic, Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne, Sarthe and the Vendee. Among the attractions that await tourists there are magnificent castles, monasteries, small villages and a beautiful coast divided into dozens of picturesque beaches. When you add excellent regional cuisine and wine from countless vineyards to this, we get a recipe for the holiday of a lifetime. The capital of the Loire-Atlantic department is Nantes . It is situated on the river, 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is the sixth most populous center in France, we will not encounter crowds or noise there. In the past, Nantes was closely associated with the sea. Unfortunately, not always for glorious reasons - until the 19th century it was one of the largest European ports sending ships full of slaves from Africa to America. You can explore the topic by visiting the Memorial for the Abolition of Slavery. Even though two centuries ago the city was an important industrial center, it has not lost its charm. In 2013, it was awarded the title of the Green Capital of Europe .

Vineyards in the Douro Valley

Lush green, the gentle contours of the hills covered with hectares of vine plantations and the lazily meandering river - this is the landscape of the Duoro Valley, a region in northeastern Portugal that produces the famous port wine. On both sides of the river, from Peso da Regua to the very border with Spain, there are plantations. Over the course of several centuries, thousands of narrow terraces for vine cultivation have been created, and their beauty scattered along the steep banks of the river has been appreciated by experts and since 2001 the landscape of the Douro Valley has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The wine-growing tradition of the region is approx. 2 thousand. years, and the area covers 10% of the total area of vines in Portugal.
