COVID19: OPEN PORT
Status: Open to all yachts from 15 June, 2020.
- See Spain Biosecurity for details.
Description:
Tucked into the northern side of the attractive Ria de Camarinas, the town of Camarinas is a very pleasant stop along the wild Costa da Morte of Galicia. Unfortunately the “look” of the town has been somewhat spoilt by careless modern construction, however, it is the type of town where the ladies still sit in doorways making lace. The setting of the Ria, however, is beautiful and remote.
In strong on-shore winds though, the Ria itself can be dangerous to enter, but the marina is sheltered from most directions.
Camarines is small and remote and there are few yachting services.
Position:
43° 07.41’N, 09° 10.60’W (Camarines harbor)
Docking
Club Nautico de Camarinas is a small, friendly marina at the northern end of the Ria, next to the fishing harbour. There is also a well-sheltered port, Muxia, on the southern side of the Ria. Muxia marina was built here in 2012 (see photo) and they offer a friendly welcome to visiting yachts.
There are a number of anchorages very near the Club Nautico, in 2-8m mud or sand with some gravel depending on where you are. Good shelter from northerly winds can be had using the steep, tree-lined hills north of the Rio del Puente del Puerto.
Careful pilotage is required to avoid dangers on the approach to the Club Nautico (shallows and isolated rocks).
