Experience the 19th century Douro Verde at this beautiful quinta, dedicated to one of Portugal's most famous
writers.
José Maria Eça de Queiroz (1845-1900) was a very talented writer. The language used in his essays, stories and novels is beautiful, with a touch of satire and criticism of politics and the church.
The quinta, Casa de Tormes, originally belonged to his wife's family. Inspired by his stays on the quinta he wrote 'The City and the Mountains'. Recommended to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of this region.
This museum is a must for everyone! A beautiful location that will also appeal to non-readers and non-Portuguese speakers.
