Itinerary

1. La Alcaidesa

   La Alcaidesa & Playa de la Hacienda (30-40 minutes) We started our tour strolling quietly in front of the beaches of La Alcaidesa and La Hacienda, north of La Línea. These calm waters offer a spectacular panoramic view of the coast, perfect for enjoying a drink on board as we get away from the hustle and bustle. Travelers will be able to contemplate the gentle hills that flow into almost pristine beaches, with luck even spotting dolphins at the start of the journey.

2. Atunara Beach

   As we line the coast, we pass in front of the picturesque fishing district of La Atunara, with its colorful boats and traditional atmosphere. Here you can breathe fishing history and local culture, and you can see the contrast between the urban coastline of La Línea and the grandeur of the open sea. The scent of salt and tradition accompanies this part of the journey, where we usually sail a little closer to the coast.

3. Gibraltar Upper Rock Nature Reserve

   We sail under the imposing silhouette of the Rock of Gibraltar, an unforgettable experience from the sea. This part of the tour offers the best views for unique photographs of the famous rocky promontory from its east face. You can observe the marine life that is concentrated near the coast of El Peñón and, if conditions permit, we will see the change in color of the water as we approach the Strait.

4. Punta Europa - Faro - Sikorski Memorial

   We made a scenic rodeo around Punta Europa, the southernmost point of the Rock. From here, the Strait of Gibraltar opens before us, with Africa in the background on clear days. This is one of the magical moments of the tour, where sea, wind and history come together. In addition to lighthouses and fortresses, it is a common spot for sighting migratory birds and cetaceans, depending on the season.

5. Algeciras Bay

   We entered the impressive Bay of Algeciras, sailing along an area with fascinating maritime activity. From sailing ships to large freighters, this area offers a unique view of the region's port dynamism. However, there are also quiet sections where nature regains its center stage, and where the silence of the sailboat connects you to the sea. Here we enjoyed a relaxed last stretch before setting out on our way back
