The Spanish and Portuguese Armies Move on Porto
Reports from May 29 describe Spanish and allied forces pressing through Bragan and Chaves, attempting to cross the Montessegre mountains toward Oporto. Austrian troops and Portuguese militia resist. Major Generals Almada and Gunha reinforce frontier positions while regulars march from Tomazzi and Marialva. Parallels note naval and colonial activity, with British and Dutch fleets, and broader European disorder influencing the Iberian campaign.
