So much history, it's a shame that you don't hear about it. The Douro river is os much more than a waterway, it has helped shape Portugal in so many ways.

THE DISTANCE FROM THE PORT TO BARCA DE ALVA, ON THE BORDER WITH SPAIN, IS 204 OR 206 KM. THE RIVER SO IS NAVIGABLE IN THE PORTUGUESE PART, IT HAS 5 LOCKS WITH LEVELS OF 15-35-27-32--22 METERS

IN THE VIDEO WHEN THE BOAT RETURNS, 2 BOATS APPEAR HOTELS FROM 1 FRENCH COMPANY AND NEARBY THERE IS 1 TOWER WHERE ENG. EDGAR CARDOSO CARRIED OUT THE CALCULATIONS AND TESTS OF THE SAO JOAO BRIDGE, THERE WAS ALSO 1 SEGMENT OF THE BRIDGE (SLICE) THAT WAS USED FOR THE TESTS WHAT HE DID, THEY SAID THAT IF HE DIED BEFORE THE BRIDGE CLOSED NOBODY COULD FINISH IT, LIKE THE ARRABIDA ONE, IT WAS MADE FROM 2 SEGMENTS

SOMETIMES I THINK I WRITE TOO MUCH! ON THE RETURN THEY SIGNATED 1 CHURCH WHICH AT THE TIME OF THE DISCOVERIES THE CREWS WENT TO PRAY BEFORE THE JOURNEY, IN INFANTE THERE IS ALSO 1 CHURCH (SAO NICOLAU) THERE WAS 1 SAINT EXHIBITED IN A COFFIN WITH GLASS, ON THE RIGHT SIDE, I SAW IT WHEN I WAS A KID, I HAVE IT NOW 70 YEARS! .I WORKED ON THESE PASSENGER BOATS, HOTELS AND DAILY BOATS!
