My suggestion for you is a morning walk, a lunch with products from a local market and a monument/museum visit during the afternoon.

Codfish, or simply cod, is a significant icon of Portuguese gastronomy. Why? Which cod dishes are the most popular? Why do the Portuguese consume so much cod, and how did it all start?

Codfish Cakes: Master the art of cooking deliciously crispy codfish cakes like a Portuguese chef —it is easy, and you will love it.

During the tours, I do in the Douro Valley, and when we have Rabelo boat trips, whenever I can, I include lunch on board … it’s fantastic.
The two hours of a Rebelo boat ride pass quickly, and you always feel like repeating.

The Dour Valley train ride is one of the experiences you should not miss when visiting the Douro Valley.
