Pinhão With Kids: The Honest Family Guide

· · Pinhão

Pinhão was not built for kids, but with a river beach, a tiled train station and a boat on the Douro, there is more to do with children than you would think. The honest guide, with no pretending it is Disneyland.

Let's be honest from the start: Pinhão was not designed with children in mind. It is a two-street village wedged between vineyard slopes and a river, where almost everything revolves around port wine, tastings, and estates with tables set for adults murmuring about grape varieties. If you arrive in Pinhão expecting a theme park or a row of kid attractions, you will leave disappointed. But arrive with the right attitude, and a swimsuit in the bag, and Pinhão can be surprisingly good with children. You just need to know what to do and, more importantly, what to skip.
