Yachts, Rocks and Tapas: Discovering the Hidden Coast of Mediterranean Spain, Sean Glynn

Details

Join Sean, author of the newly revised RCCPF/Imray pilot book Mediterranean Spain, for an engaging exploration of one of Europe’s most overlooked cruising grounds.

In this talk Sean and Sarah share insights gathered while researching the pilot, a journey that "forced" them into harbours and anchorages they might otherwise have sailed past. The result was a deeper appreciation of Spain’s rich coastline — its excellent cruising infrastructure, easy access from the UK, and the surprising variety found once you get beyond the budget holiday scene. From the rugged beauty of the Costa Brava to the historic harbours of Andalusia, this presentation offers a sailor’s perspective on the practicalities, the pleasures, and the hidden gems of cruising mainland Spain.

As the number of yachts cruising the Mediterranean continues to grow and space in popular areas becomes harder to find, the mainland coast of Spain — often overlooked — is well worth revisiting as a rewarding and practical cruising destination.
