Location:

Cais 5 is located in the heart of the village of Pinhão, in the urbanization known as the "Cais" area. Its location is privileged, adjacent to the historic Pinhão railway station, a landmark on the legendary Douro Line. From this spot, it is possible to enjoy the proximity to the river and the Douro landscape, with its terraced vineyards.

A Revitalized Space:

This place represents the culmination of an urban requalification project that transformed an area once linked to railway activity. Cais 5 was designed to offer visitors new spaces for walking and socializing. Pedestrian and leisure areas predominate, conceived to provide a more fluid and pleasant experience of Pinhão's riverside environment.

Railway Legacy and Landscape:

Historically, the area that now corresponds to Cais 5 was part of the public railway domain. Its transformation has maintained a visible connection to this legacy, albeit with a new purpose. The renovation of this space reflects the commitment to valuing the village of Pinhão, affirming it as a meeting and contemplation point in the Douro Demarcated Region, where the history of the railway merges with the natural beauty of the landscape.
