Salmanaca: 2 hours each way by bus. There is around a 45 minute tour, done by Spanish guides, who were far better than our Portuguese ones and then 3 ½ hours on your own. Salmanaca was a very interesting stop, with a lot to see and enjoyable shopping and food. Finally, we had a day where we spent a good deal of time away from the boat. This was a long bus ride, but definitely worth it.

Not to be missed, tricky walking but well worth the effort. Had a great sunny day and great local guide.

Beautiful town with impressive architecture and buildings. Very walkable. The Universities made this a vibrant environment. Both the old and new cathedrals are worth a visit - especially to see the contrasts.

Interesting scenery, very unlike Portugal. We enjoyed the excursion.

Everything was good, except the facility where we met before leaving Salamanca and food served there . Both not at Viking standards.

This worked out to be a very pleasant and fortuitous surprize. Ordinarily we would cruise through the last two locks to the Spanish border and spend a day in Salamanca. Because the last two locks were undergoing scheduled maintenance we were bused to Salamanca and spent an overnight there. We got a more in-depth visit to the city - one that we would not have gotten and we did not miss the most scenic part of the Douro river which ended at the first of the last two locks. I much preferred this change in the irinerary.

Two hour drive from the ship made it an all day affair.

Best stop of the cruise

Had to dock where Sabor meets Duoro since last lock closed for maintenance. Chose to stay on board since it was a 6-hour motocoach ride (3-hours each way) to Salamanca. Excursion offered to Foz Coa Museum which was 30-min ride with a 90-min visit. Museum was well done! Could have offered a ride out to see actual petroglyphs since there was plenty time but they didn’t. Nothing else available to do in town - very rural.
