One of the most eventful days of the summer so far, with some of the best sailing, the most dolphin sightings, and more anchoring adventures   more »

The regional capital of Pontevedra is second only to Santiago in terms of its wealth of historic buildings. Unfortunately we had to go there by bus because access to the marina is limited by a bridge too low for our mast   more »

It was a lovely anchorage - until the wind swung round and started to blow much harder. We were glad to move into the nearby marina and explore a historic village   more »

A walk up to the headland gave us a preview of today's passage - out of the Ria de Vigo, inside the Islas Cies and on into the Ria de Pontevedra   more »

We were sorry to miss teh festival of Corpus Christi and the carpets of flowers, but we were far from alone in a crowded anchorage on a hot - and foggy - day   more »

We explore the Ria de Vigo - missing out Vigo itself. But returning to Cangas for a night in the marina to catch up on a few chores proves a bit of a disappointment.   more »

A beach anchorage provides a pleasant contrast after two days in the city. And a do-it-yourself seafood supper is voted a success   more »

A huge statue of the Virgin on the hill overlooking the harbour provides an ideal vantage point for viewing the city.   more »

We've reached the furthest point south of the summer's itinerary. It will soon be time to start heading homewards, but with plenty of time for exploration along the way.   more »

Vibrant Vilagarcia was great, but now it's time to enjoy a quiet anchorage and a glass od delicious local wine   more »

It's great to be back in Spain after a few days of "real life" at home, and a straightforward return journey, by bus, air and train.   more »

A place of pilgrimage with fantistic architectural riches - and terribly tacky souvenir shops   more »

A town of contrasts where supper proved outstanding value for money   more »

Grey day brightened by generous hospitality of friendly marina   more »

A rude awakening, a delightful trip to the supermarket, and a realisation that there is a slightly more sinsiter side to the fabulous cruising ground of the Galician coast   more »

The best sail of the holiday so far takes us from our favourite place so far to another idyllic anchorage on another stunning ria   more »

Two significant milestones: we've logged more than 1000 miles since leaving home, and we've rounded Cape Finisterre   more »

Saving on marina fees means we can afford a delightful lunch in the yacht club   more »

We find a truly delightful anchorage - out of the Atlantic swell at last   more »

One Biscay adventure we're glad we didn't share - and a great catch up with friends Doug and Sylvia, heading in the opposite direction...   more »

An enjoyable walk to the Tower of Hercules, and an excellent taste of Galician sea food specialities   more »

We've entered the notoriously windy corner of South East Fitzroy - and found plenty of breeze to help us on our way to La Coruna   more »

Ribadeo is our first Spanish ria. The marina was surprisingly expensive but the town proved more interesting than first impressions suggested   more »

We're enjoying Gijon so much we've decided to stay another day   more »
