Z13-25: Sailing & yoga – Galician beaches & Islas Cies 

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.

But mostly we will anchor at secluded beaches where you can only get to by boat. Here we can then go ashore in the morning and/or evening under the guidance of a yoga teacher for personalised yoga sessions. An ideal combination with relaxed sailing and this wonderfully undiscovered sailing area.

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 8 and 24 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.

Sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

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.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
