Rabelo




Sender: Miceu
Miceu writes that the Rabelo is a typical boat which can be seen at the old and traditional quay of Gaia.

Rabelo was used to transport barrels with port wine from Alto Douro to Vila Nova de Gaia - Porto, where the wine was stored, aged and then marketed and exported. Now they are used to transport people in trips along the Douro River, and to visit the Port Wine caves.
