Viana do Castelo

The Hospital Ship Gil Eannes, was built in Viana do Castelo shipyards, and started its activity as a hospital in 1955, supporting for decades, the Portuguese cod fishing fleet which operated on the banks of Newfoundland and Greenland.

It was restored and transformed into a museum ship and a youth hostel.
Worth visiting!
