Day 6 – Saturday 22 November 2025
– Cruise Day 4
Today is the full day excursion over the border to Spain and the city of Salamanca.
As we had been there before, and because we didn’t fancy the 2-2.5 hours in a coach each way we stayed on the boat. In the morning we explored Barca d’Alva.
Sleepy backwater and one-horse town may give an impression of a livelier place than the actuality.
At one time the railway terminated there. The track remains but the large station building is bricked up and the covered goods platforms are slowly decaying.
About a dozen people remained on board and Chef Misha took our lunch orders in the morning as he alone was doing the cooking to give his team time off.
At 13:00 the boat departed and two hours later moored in Pocinho. Those who’d been to Salamanca boarded at around 18:45.
