I don't know that one. Can you give me the context? "Por tu llano" means 'for your flat,' but that's not what you spelled. Other than that, perhaps someone else will know. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Portulano is a quite unusal word. It designs a type of medieval navigation map.

Portolan chart From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The oldest original cartographic artifact in the Library of Congress : a portolan nautical chart of the Mediterranean Sea . Second quarter of the fourteenth century.
Portolan charts are navigational maps based on realistic descriptions of harbors and coasts. They were first made in the 1300s in Italy and Spain . The word portolan comes from the Italian adjective portolano , meaning "related to ports or harbours." These charts, actually rough maps, were based on accounts of medieval Europeans who sailed the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts. Frequently drawn on sheepskin, portolan charts show coastal features and ports
