You beat me to it Derek

Not São João da Pesqueira, sorry.

Is the correct town, why?
What is the other link?

DRT wrote: ↑16:50 Wed 15 Feb 2017Regua?

Not Regua.

So, DaveRL got the correct town, Duruelo de la Sierra, the town near the start of the Douro river, and Doggett got the first link correct, the Douro river (without which there would be no Douro valley, no port wine and hence no port fora).
What is the second link between Oporto and Duruelo de la Sierra?

Is it a love of cheese?

He he, no it is not.

Due to an engagement with a surgeon tomorrow, I will be away for some time.
The answer will be posted early tomorrow morning, if no correct answer by then.
DaveRL and Doggett will then have to fight it out for who is to post a new question.

Twin towns?

Nothing too serious I hope...and I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Correct second link makes it two out of three for DaveRL, who will make the next quiz.

My first question.

Slight delay. I was casting around for a suitable subject. I'm reading an account of a significant military battle. It is named after its location. What is the name?

Battle of Côa

No. Further away.

Involved Navy and Marines, didn't involve British. Think this century and Pacific.

Really? A naval battle since 2000? (or 1999 for those who care)

Damn. Last century. Not concentrating on post so much as wine and telly. Sorry. Still, got your attention.

Pearl Harbour?

Iwo Jima?

Falklands? (Battle, not War.)

Very close.

LGTrotter wrote:Iwo Jima?

Even closer. A little earlier.

Guadalcanal?
