SUGGESTED ANCHORING SPOTS IN SPAIN
- A small peninsula reaches out to sea and curves into the natural cove of ‘Sa Foradada’, which is renowned as a spot of exceptional beauty. Pine forests are reflected in the deep azure waters and breath-taking high rocks protect the cove.
- A tall rock once pushed its way out of the Mediterranean Sea, 2 km off the coast of Ibiza, and Es Vedrà is now one of the most mysterious locations around the 'White Isle'. It's unusual magnetism confuses navigational instruments in the vicinity and related legends stretch from Atlantis to the nymphs of Homer’s Odyssey and UFO sightings. If Ibiza is in your plans, don’t miss this magical spot.
DID YOU KNOW THAT...?
- The Spanish TPA system allows the closing of a TPA without the requirement of visiting a non-EU port. This situation simplifies the completion of the TPA in Spain, by saving time and costs for the vessel to finalize a TPA.
- Although a number of Schengen area countries have decided to stamp non-EU crew OUT of Europe upon embarkation, Spain is not following this guideline and continues to stamp non-EU crew holding valid seaman’s discharge books and contracts on vessels in Spanish waters.
- The US Embassy in Madrid is the most successful embassy in Europe when issuing B1B2 Visas for seafarers.
- Superyachts of any size and LoA can visit Seville by going upriver Guadalquivir. There is no limitation in terms of length, but the air draft limit is up to 42m high. We can give you some advice depending on the tide level of the river.
