A comprehensive guide to the ports of north west Spain, covering the north coast as well as the Atlantic coast. This area is not a first choice as a cruising ground by Club members, who mostly hurry on past to the Mediterranean or sometimes to the Azores or the Canaries. However, should you need to use some of these ports as a refuge, this is a useful guide to them. Corunna despite its poetic connections (The Burial of Sir John Moore) is a relatively undistinguished town, but the nearest port to Santiago de Compostela. Vigo, on the other hand, has recovered from Sir Francis Drake's visit and is a comparatively comfortable town for a visiting yachtie as the marina, we learn, is in the centre of the town and offers all the necessary facilities whilst being within easy walking distance of local restaurants.
