The ‘Friends of the Lines of Torres Vedras’, who will be visiting Portugal this month, have kindly made available 12 places on a boat trip on the River Tagus leaving from Vila Franca da Xira at 09.30 on Tuesday 20 October. The excursion is generously subsidised by the Câmara de V. Franca de Xira, in appreciation of both the Friends' and the Society's role in supporting the Lines of Torres Vedras.
The trip lasts 2.5 hours and will include descriptions of the local way-of-life, the nature, the Peninsular War and the effect of floods. The boat leaves at 09.30 sharp from the Marina de Vila Franca de Xira (https://maps.app.goo.gl/sgEYW1vH1UBiS5ih9). There is only limited parking nearby, so members are advised to travel by train or take a taxi/Uber. We suggest that you equip yourselves with warm and waterproof clothing.
The cost will be €10 per person, with guests welcome at €15. Bookings will strictly be on a first-come-first -served basis, with a waiting list.
