Here´s another (very) good reason to visit Portugal - Wine Spectator magazine just ranked “Quinta do Crasto Reserva Vinhas Velhas 2005″, a wine from the Douro region, number 3 in their list of “Most exciting wines of 2008″!

From Wine Spectator:

In 2008, we reviewed more than 19,500 wines from around the world in blind tastings. More than 5,300 of them earned outstanding ratings (90 points or higher on our 100-point scale). We then narrowed the list down based on four criteria: quality (represented by score); value (reflected by release price); availability (measured by case production or cases imported); and an X-factor we call excitement. But no equation determines the final selections: These choices reflect our editors’ judgment and passion about the wines we tasted.

Fourteen countries are represented, making the 2008 list the most diverse group in the history of the Top 100, which debuted in 1988. Quality remains high, with an average score of 93 points, consistent with the past two years.

We are all getting ready for our trip to Morocco. 10 women (6 Portuguese and 4 Norwegian) and 4 men (all from Portugal) will leave for Marrakech on the 27th of December for our hiking trip in this fantastic country. New Year´s will be celebrated together with our Moroccan friends in a very special party!

Prontos para Marrocos!

Quase tudo pronto para partir rumo a Marrakech, no dia 27 de Dezembro. 10 mulheres (6 portuguesas e 4 norueguesas) e 4 homens (todos portugueses) ultimam os preparativos para o programa de Trekking neste belo país africano. O Ano Novo será celebrado em conjunto com os nossos amigos marroquinos, numa festa muito especial preparada só para nós!

Peneda-Gerês National Park, in Portugal, received the important PAN Parks certification. PAN Parks was created by WWF. With this certification, Peneda-Gerês National Park, joins the European network of best wilderness areas!

PAN Parks is the world’s first operational, third-party certification system under WCPA (World Commission on Protected Areas) Framework for Management Effectiveness. PAN Parks sets an important benchmark for high standards of management in protected area management.

The magnificent Peneda-Gerês National Park is a wild and dramatic place consisting of two main mountain ranges Peneda and Gerês with rural villages scattered around. Brooks and waterfalls are common at every mountain slope as the park is crossed by several rivers.
