Shaped by the meandering water plan of the river, this landscape produces the Porto wine on sloping hillsides, terraced and extensively cultivated with vineyards, often bordered by olive trees and punctuated by the Italian-cypress. The basic unit of production is the large estate known as Quinta.

This study intends to analyse the integration and scenic value of the Quintas in the landscape of Douro. It focuses on the exceptional recreational and ornamental characteristics of these Quintas and aims at describing and analysing the existing types of ornamental gardens. It is based on the collection of data on 28 sites and on the analysis of their structure, the aesthet...
