Peso da Régua is a sun-bathed town located in the banks of the Douro river, in the western extreme of the Região Norte of Portugal.

This city became a great centre for the distribution of Porto wine during the 13th century, and currently is still an essential crossroads due to its gigantic bridge, the IP3.
