Anchoring Viana do Costelo W Portugal

Atlantic Spain and Portugal 7th Edition Page 138
Although anchoring in the river is prohibited, a visiting yacht has been seen anchored immediately south of No 11 buoy. There appears to be plenty of room to anchor in this area in depths of 4-8m, well clear of the channel. The SW/NW orientated wharves in the area marked ‘Commercial Wharf’ are used by big ships, which need room to swing. The wharf shown directly south of No11 buoy is abandoned and there are disused mooring buoys off it. Anchoring in this area may be possible, particularly if the marina and waiting pontoon are full. Anchoring in the bight SW of the commercial wharf is prohibited and a yacht anchored here in 2018 was abruptly told to leave .
