Michael Solovyev. Porto, Portugal. From the photo made by Luísa Avelar from Caldas da Rainha. @DANIELSMITHArtistColor watercolor paints on Saunders Waterford Rough paper, 22x15 inches.
Luisa made this photo during a short visit to this beautiful city of Porto. The panoramic front view is known as “Ribeira”, one of the oldest places in Porto, located in the Historical Centre of the city. It is visited by lots and lots of Portuguese and foreign tourists. Porto is the second largest city of the country, located in the northwest part of it. It is known around the world by the production and exportation of the Port wine (vinho do Porto), their old bridges crossing the river Douro and ancient architecture. Nowadays you can navigate along the river and admire the fantastic vineyards on both sides of it. This whole region, with the area of about 26 thousand hectares, is called “Região Vinhateira do Porto” and considered “Cultural Patrimony of Humanity” by UNESCO. The climatic characteristics are very specific for the wine production, which has been going on for about 2000 years. On the opposite side of the river from where Luisa made her photo is another city, called Vila Nova de Gaia, very famous for their 50-ish wine caves, where the wine is aged in wood containers and then exported for all the world. Before, the wine produced in the vineyards along the river was carried by the Rabelo boats (in the photo) to the caves. Every June 24, there is a Rabelo race competition, considered as a tradition and cultural event.
