1 review for Atlantic Spain and Portugal

  1. Ontario Sailor

    This is the 7th edition of the cruising guide that covers the coastline of Spain and Portugal from the treacherous Bay of Biscay all the way south to Gibraltar. New to this addition is more information on anchorages and refuges to the north, near the Spanish Cape. The book is an invaluable resource for sailing in the area, and offers colourful aerial photos and small charts of the coastline in detail, along with general information like probable weather conditions (watch for Atlantic swells, lots of rain in Galicia region of Spain and coastal fog in the summer), buoyage system, marina locations, and where to get fuel, repairs and food, and security (little crime in the area). The book is in three sections: Galicia in northern Spain; west coastal Portugal; and the Algarve in southern Spain. The many chartlets are invaluable and feature depth, navigational aids, best marina approaches, and much more useful information. Keep this book handy in the cockpit.
