Loctudy – Vilagarcia de Arousa

EMBARKATION 07/08 AT 20:00 P.M.

Get on board the NAO VICTORIA and feel the experience of traveling on a replica of 500 years ago with which the first round-the-world trip was made. Relive how those sailors used to sail, the great feats they did on that ship and experience first hand the greatest maritime feat. Be part of the crew, using the same sailing techniques, with training on navigation, charts, sail use, knots, etc. And above all, feel the sensation of sailing a wooden boat, steered by a pintle.

Departing from the port of Loctudy and arriving at the port of Vilagarcia de Arousa, this voyage lasts 4 days corresponding to 430 nautical miles. It will allow you to make an incredible voyage along the coast of the French Sea, heading towards the cold waters of the Cantabrian Sea towards the city of Vilagarcia de Arousa in Galicia. It will allow you to make an incredible voyage along the Celtic Sea, leaving the French peninsula very close to your passage, until you reach the city of Vilagarcia de Arousa. Vilagarcia de Arousa is located in an optimal tourist enclave: stroll through the port and its promenade; visit its religious heritage, take a route through its most impressive pazos; or walk through the largest Laurel forest in Europe. Finally we recommend you to visit archaeological wealth: Petroglyph of Os Ballotes and Castro de Alobre. Lose yourself in its streets full of charm sailing aboard the Nao Victoria. An unforgettable experience aboard the Nao Victoria for those who like big ships.

What it does not include

Transportation to and from the boat is at the expense of each person.

Sailing on the sailing boats of the Nao Victoria Foundation is a magnificent human, technical and natural experience. You will take part in the sailing watches and experience the camaraderie of people of different ages, cultures and backgrounds, all as fond of the sea and boats as you are. You will learn navigation techniques, manoeuvring, knots and rigging, as well as getting to recognise the main stars and constellations. And all this in a natural environment as different, indomitable and incredibly beautiful as the sea.

A mini adventure full of humanity. My dream since I was a child, to see the sails swell in the wind, with the bow cutting waves up and down. Swallowing the sky, swallowing the sea. I am one of those who never stop, I do not miss even the smallest detail and Nao Victoria and you have filled me. All my nights different, always ecstatic. Captain, crew a 10, volunteers, I have no scale to name your dedication, your courtesy, your bizarreness. Historically well prepared, I now admire even more those heroes who preceded us.

The person who decides to make a voyage aboard the nao Victoria will find: a wooden ship that tries to recreate the feeling of being in one of those primitive ships that achieved such great feats, with a crew of people enthusiastic about sailing, the history of Spain very close, attentive and friendly, which will allow us to participate in all maneuvers and activities.
