 local woman walks a stone-paved path at the Alojamento Senhora da Ribeira, a riverside inn where writer Rachel Howard spent the night. "It was pitch dark by the time we reached the tiny station of Vesuvio, 75 miles east of Porto. We boarded a motorboat and glided across the inky river under a dusting of stars. The immense quinta loomed out of the darkness on the south bank of the river." That night, Howard enjoyed a dinner of roast lamb with pomegranate at the inn's humble but homey restaurant.
