ERVEDOSA DO DOURO + SÃO XISTO



ERVEDOSA DO DOURO

41° 10' N; 7° 29' W

Ervedosa do Douro is a Portuguese parish in the municipality of São João da Pesqueira, with an area of 39.71 km² and 1029 inhabitants (2021). Its population density is 25.9 inhabitants/km².

Geography
About 7 km west of São João da Pesqueira, Ervedosa do Douro is the largest producer of fortified wine in the Douro Demarcated Region and the parish with the largest area in the World Heritage spot.

Monuments
The Church of S. Vicente, rebuilt in 1841, features a magnificent baroque gilded carved throne. In the baptistery, there are old images of S. Miguel and S. Sebastião, pre-national cults.

Casa do Cão, an emblazoned house, is a building that stands out from the civil architecture with some apparatus and has stones from the Saavedras coat of arms. From the zoomorphic insignia that appears on the crest, over the coat of arms, came the name with which the people baptized it.

SÃO XISTO

N 41.1415801º,  W 7.3423548º

São Xisto, in São João da Pesqueira, right in the heart of the Douro Wine Region, is one of our favorite villages in the region. Despite being small, mostly dedicated to tourism and easily visited in 1 to 2 hours, this village wins over for the scenery it offers and the calm it offers.

The predominance of schist is visible right at the entrance to the village, where there is a plaque with its name. From here, the road continues for a few more metres, through twists and turns, to the entrance to the village, where there is an atrium where you can leave your cars. Although there are other parking lots inside the village, we recommend leaving your car here and walking.
