Abstract
The Douro Region villages are generally rural spaces, fragile and with a drecreasing po- pulation, in which the primary economic sector is still quite important, particularly the wine making related activities. In order to revilatize some of these villages, in different municipalities, a major project was launched, including interventions in the areas of urban regeneration, socio-economic development and tourism promotion, including the Wine Villages' Festival, in 2007. This project was object of study, looking at a major question: are these villages alive? In this article the major research results are presented, showing the difficulties such kind of interventions face, and some ideas are offered regarding the promotion of local development.
