Ep27 | Viveiro, Spain: Vacant Old Town & a Dingy Safari to Maiden's Cove

November 23-25, 2020 -------------------------------------- In this episode, we sail off early in the morning from Gijón, Spain for quite a long, lazy passage to Viveiro - about a 100nm-passage?.so we arrived an anchorage just outside of the port entrance along the Cove Beach in the pitch dark?. Luckily there was plenty of room for us with only 1 other boat anchored there who had a captain named Bart. Viveiro is a small, pretty and historic town sitting at the mouth of the River Landro, it's first settlements going back to the Iron Age. It's a sleepy fishing town nestled into a sheltered inlet on Galicia's wild and unpredictable coast, even more lethargic during the Pandemic. We go on a short sight-seeing tour in the vacant streets of Old Town - partly because of the pandemic, maybe partly due to siesta. There we see two of the cultural "gems" of the town, the Gate of Carlos V & the Bridge of Mercy with 9 arches (originally 12). But, we spend most of our time exploring the rugged, stunning coastline. Only a few nautical miles away was a popular natural attraction in the cliffs called Maiden's Cove - a hole that overlooks the sea. Since it was a long drive away, but a shorter distance on sea, we decided to try to find it by dingy... See what we find! And, stay tuned for our sail to A Coruna and all the fun we have there in the stunning, lively & important coastal city. A Coruna also marks the beginning of a long-lasting friendship with our new buddy boat - Enfant Terrible. Thanks for tuning in!
