This new title covers the extensive cruising area of Galicia in the
north west of Spain from Ribadeo to Bayona, where the beautiful rias
provide shelter from the Atlantic in picturesque harbours and remote
anchorages. The authors have spent several seasons cruising in the area
and making use of their local connections have produced a modern guide
that provides in-depth information necessary for yachts spending time
visiting the rias and ports of Galicia. Annotated town plans covering
over 90 destinations show shore-side facilities and recommended
restaurants and side panels provide advice on interesting places to
visit, local customs and features of interest. Carlos Rojas has sailed
yachts since 2000, a short but intensive career during which he has
crossed the Atlantic, cruised in the Pacific, made several passages
across Biscay and sailed to Ireland and France. His professional
involvement in technology companies as an engineer, manager and director
has given him an insight into design and usability that he applies to
his pilot books.Carlos has lived most of his life in Britain but he is
originally from Spain, a country that he knows well, naming Galicia as
one of his favourite areas. Robert Bailey was brought up in a sailing
family. Over a period of 35 years, and with the aid of a Nicholson 32
and Rustler 36, much of the coastline of the north western approaches to
Europe, from the Faroe Islands in the north to the Morbihan in the
south, were avidly explored. In 2001 he adopted a more flexible approach
to his career as an aerospace engineer and this allowed him to take up
cruising instruction. He is now a Yachtmaster Instructor.
