AVERAGE TIME OF THE DESCENT.

In winter, 35 min. ; in summer, 42 min., to-1 Ponto da Olga.

W., 35; S., 51.-1 Poço das Tulhas (the deep of the wicker baskets). The course of the stream is now nearly due north. Shortly afterwards we pass on the left the mouth of the Coa, after a course of 13 leagues from Sortelha. The waters of this river are strongly impregnated with copper, and very prejudicial to the health. The Douro makes a sweep to the east, curving round in the Poço da Açoreira.

W., 30; S., 61.-1 Ribeiro da Aço

reira.

W., 30; S., 54.-1 Ponto das Azenhas dos Frades (of the Friars' water-mill). A little beyond this the mouth of the river Sabor is passed to the right; and - we next skirt the unhealthy Ribeira da Villariça, of which we have spoken at p. 172. The stream here turns sharp to the left, and then goes in a south-west direction.

W., 25; S., 41.-1 Ribeiro da Louza. Turning north-west, we reach,

W., 35; S., 50.-1 Ponto do Torrão da Murça.

W., 33; S., 50.-1 Ponto do Cadãozinho. During this league several small islands are passed.

W., 30; S., 44.-1 Cachão da Baleira. This is one of the sublimest gorges of the whole river. It is fully worth while to come from Porto by way of Lamego, as far as S. João da Pesqueira, for the purpose of enjoying the view at this spot. (See p. 131.) The river here bursts through the mountain chain that forms the eastern side of the valley of the Tua. The mountain to the left is S. Salvador do Mundo, described at p. 131. Hereabouts the Paiz Vinhateiro begins to the left. This scenery continues for some distance, though the Cachão itself is the grandest part of the whole.

W., 30; S., 67.-1 Quinta do Zimbro. A little beyond this, on the right, is the mouth of the Tua. We now have the wine country on both sides.

W., 30; S., 65.-1 Ponto do Frete. Shortly after passing the Tua, the

Douro attains its most northerly point, at the Quinta dos Malvedos.

W.,35; S., 50.-1 Barca das Batteiras. Just before reaching this, the Pinhão comes in on the right, and shortly afterwards the Torto on the left.

W., 25; S., 50.-1 Ponto do Secco do Ferrão. Here we are in the very heart of the wine country; and the terrace rises from the water's edge as far as the eye can reach.

W., 30; S., 55.-1 Foz de Temilobos. Before this Covilinhas is seen to the right, and Folgoza to the left. Some distance further on we pass on the right the mouth of the Corgo, which separates the new wine district from the old, and almost immediately lie-to off

W., 32; S., 62.-1 PEZO DA Regoa. See Route 43.

W., 25; S., 46.-1 Ponto dos Nasceiros da Rede. The road seen to the right hand is that which has lately been finished between Porto and Regoa; and a little further on, on the same side, some of the houses of Mezão Frio may be caught sight of. Beyond this, still to the right, is Villa Juzãa; and beyond that the little village of Barqueiros, the place where its streamlet flows down into the river, being appropriately called Ponto de N. S. de Boa Viajem. We now enter, on the right, the province of Minho.

W., 30; S., 31.-1 Ponto da Ripança. Some way beyond this are the Pedras das Ancoras, rocks that project in a strange picturesque manner into the bed of the river.

W., 20; S., 35.-1 Barca do Mirão. W., 29; S., 25.-Pedra Forcada. Beyond this there is a very pleasing piece of wooded scenery at the mouth of the little river Bertança.

W., 23; S., 39.-1 Porto-Manço.
W., 20; S., 32.-1 Lavadouro.
W., 22; S., 44.-1 Vimieiro.
W., 25; S., 53.-1 Fonteus.

W., 20; S., 47.-1 Entre Ambos os Rios, that is, between the Tamega, which here joins the Douro, and the Douro itself.

W., 30; S., 51.-1 Fontainhas.

W., 30; S., 50.-1 Ribeiro de Santiago.
W., 30; S., 57.-1 Carvoeiro.
