O Barqueiro View from the upper town O Barqueiro to the lower part Porto do Barqueiro. Post by Wynette: O Barqueiro is the tiny town where we are now. It’s the cutest little town and has not been touched by the awful urbinazación that we see so often. I.e., none of the tall, ugly, practically empty or not even completed apartment buildings. O Barqueiro means the boatman. Tiny little boat we passed on walk from the upper town to the lower town Our hotel in Porto do Barqueiro. As usual, the only one open in town. The one we wanted to stay in, just a few doors down, will open after winter closure in a week or two. But we’ve enjoyed this one.
