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:
