GR 14 (Portugal)

The GR 14 is a Percurso pedestre de grande rota in Portugal, which connects with a corresponding path into Spain. In Portugal, it is known as the Rota dos Vinhos da Europa, and Portuguese tourist maps mark it as continuing through wine-growing areas of Spain and France to terminate at Strasbourg. As of 2015 it is not included in the list of "E-paths" published by the European Ramblers' Association; however, a long-distance route of the same number and Vila Nova de Foz Côa at the eastern end of the route. In those areas, the route follows well used tracks or quiet country roads, between small towns and villages where accommodation and food are readily available. River crossings on footpath sections are either by bridges, or stepping stones. In accordance with the name of the route, it frequently passes through vineyards. It descends to the Douro at Ferradosa in the São João da Pesqueira section.
