Port wine is a Portuguese fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Valley in the northern provinces of Portugal and is typically a sweet, red dessert wine. The wine received its name in the 17th century from the seaport city of Porto at the mouth of the Douro River, where much of the product was brought to market or for export to other countries in Europe. The Douro valley where port wine is produced was defined and established as a protected appellation in 1756, making it the third oldest, after Chianti (1716) and Tokaj (1730). While in Porto you can tour some of the wineries in nearby Gaia (I went to Sandeman and got a picture in their trademark hat & cape), then find this box at Agramonte Cemetery.
Directions:
From Avenida Da Boavista turn southeast on R. Agramonte for about 200 meters to Agramonte Cemetery and park nearby.
Clues:
Walk through main entrance on stone path to chapel and continue around right side to #4 marker on right. Go right past bench on right to bench on left. From far end go right across from it to grave with pile of rocks and stone cross. Go to left side and find big rock at base nearest you. Look on top of it in crevice on right side under small rock for microbox. Please be discreet and replace as described.
Hike length: 0.1 miles
