Top destinations in Spain
Balearic Islands
Balearic Islands, Spanish Islas Baleares are an archipelago in the western Mediterranean Sea. The archipelago lies 50 to 190 miles (80 to 300 km) east of the Spanish mainland.
The four largest islands are Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera.
Their excellent climate with some 300 days of sun per year, wonderful beaches, a rich cultural offer, and the unusual hospitality of their inhabitants make the Balearic Islands one of the preferred holiday destinations in Spain.
The largest island, Mallorca (also known as the ‘Isle of Dreams’), has a varied landscape of mountains and valleys, rocky coves, and sandy beaches.
Menorca still has the marks of its ancient history and a strong connection with Britain. There are many bays and lovely beaches on the island.
Ibiza, the third-largest island, has a rugged coastline with many fruit orchards and woods.
It is famous for its nightlife.
A narrow channel separates Ibiza from Formentera, the smallest inhabited island in the group.
The traditional cuisine of the Balearic Islands are the popular fried Mallorcan fish, shellfish with vegetables and lobster stew; fresh island lamb (either roast or in dishes such as Panadera, Freixurat, and Trunyelles), flavorsome pork sausages (Sobrassades, Botifarró blanc, Botifarró negre, Carn i xua, Cuixot) and fabulously delicious fresh goats cheese with herbs.
Canary islands
Thanks to a subtropical climate and location just off the coast of Africa, Spain’s Canary Islands offer the perfect wintertime escape for those in search of a little sun and sand.
They are located in the Atlantic Ocean- 100 km west of Morocco.
The Canaries, consist of seven main islands: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. The Canary Islands offer more challenging sailing, with stronger winds, and are better suited for people who have solid experience of how to handle a boat.
The sailing season runs from March to November, with the peak season being in July and August, but you can also sail out of season because of good weather conditions.
Canarian cuisine is a mix of Spanish, Latin, and African cultures. Most of the Canarian cuisine is a variety of fresh vegetables, fruit, and fish, generally light meals.
Two popular fish dishes from Tenerife are Caldereta, a meal with tomatoes, goat meat, and potatoes, and the Sancocho Canario, a salted fish, usually white, in a “mojo” sauce.
Tenerife, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, three of the most popular islands among visitors offer unique and unexpected landscapes, stunning parks, and a wealth of natural beauty.
Tenerife, the largest and most populated of the Canary Islands, has an eternal springtime climate. Finally, the visit to Tenerife would be incomplete without a visit to Mount Teide, the island’s famous volcano and the highest point in Spain, with a summit at 3.718 meters above sea level.
Fuerteventura is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve with over 93 miles of unspoiled beaches to explore. Sotavento and Corralejo are the most popular beaches.
Lanzarote is located about less than 20 NM from Fuerteventura. No matter the season, it’s almost always warm enough to sunbathe and swim in Lanzarote. Lanzarote is also known for dramatic and unusual landscapes. From red rocks to lava flows and craters, the scenery of the island is truly unique. La Graciosa, a small island situated to the north of Lanzarote, is one of the most remote and unknown places in the entire archipelago.

Preparation for sailing
To visit and discover the islands by sailing boat is a great way to experience all the good stuff that Spain is offering. You can decide between a crewed charter, cabin charter, or bareboat charter in case you have the right sailing license accepted in Spain.
