June 21 - June 30, 2019; 858 nm and 98 days after departure from La Rochelle What a warm welcome to Portugal. This is not related to the temperature of Porto🤪, but to the Portuguese in general and specifically to the nice ladies of the Marina Douro. We arrived in the morning of the 21 …

What an amazing place to stay! It was so worth to enter the narrow, difficult (definitely to us) entrance to the "ría de Villaciosa", the estuary of Villaciosa.
