Sailing in Galicia
Galicia in the north west of Spain just above Portugal is still the great unknown of the Iberian peninsula. This is unfortunate as the region has a lot to offer visitors. For example it is the second largest sailing area in Spain, there are beautiful little harbours, innumerable sheltered bays and good marinas with all the necessary facilities. No wonder more and more yachtsmen come to Galicia.As well as being a fantastic sailing area the countryside also has a lot to offer. There are beautiful beaches, rivers and mountains, magnificent scenery and a wealth of culture and tradition. The Galician cuisine combines the best from the ocean with all the good from the land. The people are not accustomed to mass tourism and welcome foreign visitors. The atmosphere is open and friendly.
