Great Little Railways: Journey to the Land Beyond the Mountains
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Once a year trains carry an army of grape pickers to the steep, terraced slopes of the River Douro in northern Portugal. To the sounds of singing, dancing, and exploding dynamite, the whole valley celebrates the harvest that will be used to make the region's famous port wine. Higher into the mountains, the rail lines enter a region that's mysterious even to the Portuguese -- a land of proud people, strange primitive traditions, and secret smugglers' routes into Spain
