November 18 from 2022 - 10: 50

As a result of the storm announced by the weather reports for next week, the Galeón Andalucía prefers to be cautious and postpone its visit to Dénia, scheduled for November 23-27. "From Monday to Friday of next week it would be very difficult for us to get to Dénia, both due to the intensity of the wind and the direction," says Fernando Viota, director of operations and projects at Fundación Nao Victoria.

In a few days the new dates of the visit will be announced, which will most likely be for the first week of December. "We apologize for so much change, but our replicas are built in a way that they cannot navigate under these conditions and we have to prioritize the safety of both the ship and the crew," Viota points out. In this sense, Gabriel Martínez, captain-director of Marina Dénia He comments that “safety is a priority and these boats need very special treatment. We want the Galeón Andalucía to settle in our port, but the conditions to enjoy it must be the best”.

Galleon Andalusia

A ship of 55 meters in length, made of iroko and pine, with six decks and almost a thousand square meters of sail area in its seven sails, built with careful historical accuracy in our country. During their stay in Denia, the public will be able to get on board and tour its decks, learn about its details, its navigation, what life was like for its crew members and the very history of the Spanish galleons that sailed the oceans for more than three centuries. The experience is also completed by boarding a ship that today sails the seas of the world with a young crew that has the most amazing experiences throughout its long voyages. The galleon has already sailed more than 55.000 nautical miles and has visited ports around the world such as Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York and Quebec.
