We think the Marina Expo is a wonderfull haven/shelter to have your boat in, wheather it is for short stay or long.
The shelter is great with the ability of closing the doors in bad weather and during the nights. The people who work there are very, very helpfull and kind and all speak english! Supermarkets (small very close, big just a little further) nearby, busstop nearby. Nice little restaurants along the harbour (Maestro Doce!).
Washingmachine works well, so does the dryer. Wifi for free.
We needed to fill our tanks with diesel; immediately we got help from the harbour-employees, who drove us to the gasstation, helped us to fill and later empty the tanks. One of our bycicles had a flat tire; we left the bike and went by bus. When we returned; the flat tire had been fixed!!! Unbelievable service! Etc. etc.
One more example: we saw on tv there had been severe storms in Portugal. We wrote to the harbour and asked if our boat was okay. They quickly replied, with several photo’s of our boat; great service!
We are very happy to have our (new)boat in this harbour and rely fully on the staff/employees.
Thanks to all of you!!
