This is something EVERY Port lover should see!
Amazing archival footage saved and reworked by the IVV. It is in Portuguese but that doesn't matter!

Classic bit of old newsreel..!
..for a less airbrushed look at the Douro, both old and new, there is a recently made feature length documentary called 'As Horas Do Douro' - also in Portuguese, but with English subtitles.
The film is beautifully made, and well worth watching; but I don't know where one can buy a copy (a copied DVD was given to me when I was last in Gaia)

Here is another Douro video I found today, which, presumably, was sponsored by the Symingtons a few years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTILOlzC ... dded#at=25
