Z12-25: Sailing holidays North West Spain – Female only

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 lively Vigo, we will explore the many inlets, also called Rias, such as the Ria de Pontevedra and Ria de Arosa. Also known as the Rias Baixas, these southern Rias are known for nice weather with perfect sailing conditions and they are well sheltered from the ocean swell.

Here we will 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.

This sailing holiday is for women only and also with a female crew. Anne will be our relief skipper, read more about Anne.

The daily sailing distances are between 10 and 29 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.
