Las Galletas - Docking
Entrance:
To approach the marina, sail quite close to the land until the green harbor light on the breakwater is seen. Do not go too far to port as there are rocks. Be aware that there is a ruin on land with a green door which looks like a green navigation mark!
Call on VHF Channel 9 before entering, proceed straight to an allocated berth otherwise go to the reception pontoon immediately to starboard on entry. It is co-located with the fuel berth.
Marina Information:
Maneuvering in the marina is tight. Whilst the pontoons do not have locked gates, there are 24-hour security patrols.
A significant surge builds during strong S or SW winds often requiring additional springs and fenders.
It is essential to call the marina in advance as space is limited.
Anchoring:
Do not anchor in front of the town, it is full of rocks, and anchoring inside the harbor is prohibited.
It is possible to anchor in the bay just to the east with a sand and rock bottom. It’s very comfortable here if the wind and swell are from the east.

We anchored one night in the bay just to the east. Two other boats were at anchor. Sand and rock bottom. Anchor held well in sand, but the chain was noisy across the rocks. Very comfortable in the wind and swell from the east.
We received a friendly welcome. Channel 9 was answered promptly. Telephone first after a few tries. We paid 23 Euros a night for 10.7 meters. Space was available in October although during our first contact we were told differently. The staff were always on site and helpful.
Nice town, but the pontoons are very poorly maintained. Marina staff (when you find them) are always ‘busy’ – and on Friday afternoons and at weekends when the boss has gone home disappear completely!
