About This Route
The full N222 along the south bank of the Douro, from Vila Nova de Gaia to Régua. It starts in town, but from Castelo de Paiva it becomes a string of bends above the river, through Cinfães and Resende, the land of cherries, before reaching the gateway to the Alto Douro wine region.
