Z11-25: Sailing holidays in North West Spain, Galicia

The Spanish northwest coast is, for most people, unfamiliar territory. As a result, this beautiful sailing area has still remained authentic and without mass tourism. In terms of nature, it resembles the Scottish ‘Outer Hebrides’, but of course the temperature is a lot more pleasant. Unlike southern Spain, it fortunately does not get tropically hot over here.

From the lively and atmospheric La Coruna, we sail through the many inlets, called Rias here, to the pleasant town of Vigo.

The first two days we sail along the Costa de la Muerte.  A beautiful and jagged rocky coast with, fortunately, sheltered Rias and atmospheric harbours such as Muxia. In general, there will be a north-westerly wind, which can increase considerably at the end of the afternoon, making for spectacular sailing on the swell of the deep-blue ocean. At the end of the afternoon we sail into an atmospheric little harbour, where of course there is still time for a little stroll or a terrace.

After rounding Cabo Finisterre, we enter the sheltered and larger Rias, the Rias Baixas, where it is still delightful summer weather. Here we visit a number of charming little harbours with pretty old village centres and houses built in the typical Galician style with bay windows and former granaries on pillars, such as Combarro and Baionna, among others. In Baionna, we can go into the town in the evening for some fun and vibrant nightlife.

Of course, we will also anchor off the beautiful Islas Cies. A nature reserve where we also take a wonderful walk with stunning views of the islands and the ocean. The enthusiast can also take a swim here. We finish in the lively town of Vigo where we go out for dinner to conclude this beautiful sailing holiday.

The daily sailing distances are between 10 and 36 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.
