Leg 9/2016

8 – 15 July Portosin – Bayona (Galicia/Spain), 100-150 nm

 

The second relaxed cruising in the pleasant Rías of Galicia, Spain of 2016. We start in Portosin and will end in Bayona close to Vigo. Portosin is not far from the famous town of Santiago de Compostela, which is known as the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, and the alleged burial site of the apostle St. James. And Bayona is not far from Portugal. This leg invites to further explore this area by prolonging the stay to enjoy more of the inlands of Galicia or Portugal.

The main direction of the leg is southbound, thus sailing downwind following the northwesterly Portuguese Trades. We will do several stops along the way exploring the unique fjord-like Ría and all the charming fishing villages, enjoying Spanish hospitality, food and wine.

Galicia is culturally and historically highly interesting and well worth a visit. However, this corner of Spain with Cape Finisterre (meaning “the end of the world”) is not visited often by foreigners and is mainly known to the Spaniards who escape the heat of central Spain (e.g. Madrid) during the hot summer weeks. The climate is considered perfect here: Warm, but not hot sunny days and cool nights thanks to the cold Atlantic water. The fjord-like Rías are sheltered and offer very pleasant cruising.

Cruising on Regina Laska in this area forms thus a quite unique possibility to visit this part of Europe and is highly recommended.

Price: EUR 1750 per person including all food consumed onboard, harbour fees, diesel etc
