Description
Atlantic Spain and Portugal is a thorough and practical pilot book covering sailing along the Iberian Atlantic coast, from Cabo Ortegal in Galicia to the Strait of Gibraltar. The area offers varied conditions, from weather-beaten Atlantic stretches to protected rías, estuaries and modern marinas.
The book contains detailed information about ports, anchorages, approaches, tides, currents and local weather patterns – conditions that are crucial for safe navigation in this area. The text is based on first-hand experience and continuous updates from sailors who know the waters well.
Like other publications from the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, the book combines practical sailing experience with precise charts, port plans and clear descriptions. It is suitable both for transit sailing between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean and for longer stays along the coast of Spain and Portugal.
