Travel time across atlantic
Marca is quoted as saying they spent 18hours at sea from Barcelona to Argentina. This is surely an error in the original — presumably it meant to say 18 days. Can another source verify? ~2026-12100-83 (talk) 17:21, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- yes, this is indeed correct. The Spanish version of the article does say 18 days.
