Alicante
The route from Alicante to Almeria and back runs along the Costa Blanca and Costa de Almería, offering spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea and a variety of landscapes. Along the route you will see sandy beaches, rocky cliffs and hills covered with olive groves and vines. The vegetation includes Mediterranean maquis, palm trees, agaves and shrubs with aromatic herbs such as rosemary and thyme. The fauna of the region consists mainly of seabirds, seagulls, cormorants and dolphins, which can often be seen in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Near Almeria the landscape changes to a more desert-like one, with rock formations and vast, dry plains that are home to local fauna such as lizards and rabbits.
- We plan to depart from port after the mandatory safety briefing on the yacht.
We begin our adventure in Alicante, Spain.
We suggest starting our adventure with a good lunch – Salmorejo. This is a local version of gazpacho, made with tomatoes, olive oil, bread, garlic and olive oil. It is thicker and creamier than gazpacho, perfect for a hot day.
