Set sail to east and explore different Spanish harbours during this trip. In Spanish territory we can visit Cadiz either to indulge with the city’s fantastic tapas or to wonder around one of the oldest towns in the western Europe.
Another option to stop is Barbate. This village has a long history of fishing – the tuna Capital! Maybe you will have a chance to get a tuna while passing by… try it.
As a stop over the town has an attractive central square “Plaza de la Inmaculada” that gathers the “movida” in the small settlement and a great protected marina (nice showers) that will surely provide a good night sleep.
The bay of Cadiz has an US Naval base and heavy traffic towards Cadiz. Also in Chipiona (Guadalquivir river) and Mazagon there are several big river. AIS will be an important tool to use it and practice.
This trip requires a lot to practive pilotage and get familiar with the pilote book. We also need to practice tides and tidal calculation once almost every port has a tidal restriction.
Cadiz Sailing Expedition is probably one of the most remarkable Sailing Adventures in Europe!
Some prior sailing experience is desirable.
