Sailing, outdoor adventure and gastronomic holiday experiences

5 days
About this activity
Join us onboard the tallship Atyla at 16.00 in Muros. You can either take advantage of our complimentary bus service from Santiago de Compostela (airport & city stops), or you can make your own way to Muros and meet us at the dock.
After settling in and a short safety briefing it will be time to cast off and set sail along the estuary towards the open sea!
You'll be part of the crew at sea, helping with all aspects of sailing the ship & life onboard. Don worry if you don't have any sailing experience, our experienced crew are there to help you and teach you the basics so you can fully participate.
As with all sailing experiences, weather permitting! we'll anchor in Viveiro Bay, a teardrop shaped bay surrounded by pine & eucalyptus clad hills. We'll dinghy in to shore and take a walk out to Punta do Fuciño, don't forget your cameras! The views are majestic and rugged, you can feel the celtic soul here.
We'll head into town after enjoying the views and visit a tapas bar for a glass of one of the local white wines the region is famous for and sample some local fayre before heading back to the ship. Once again, weather permitting we'll head back in later for a BBQ on the beach, or we'll dine onboard.
The following morning we'll up anchor and start our final leg back to our homeport of Bilbao, just in time for the 35th anniversary of the ships launch! We'll start the celebrations with a meal out at a local restaurant for all onboard. If you are not in too much of a hurry, the next day we'll take a bus and visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe (castle rock in Basque). It's quite a walk downhill for approximately a kilometre then over the bridge and uphill for over 240 steps :) But well worth it! It has played its part defending the area from the catholic kings, it was attacked by Francis Drake, and during the Spanish inquisition they locked up women they had accused as witches in the dungeons. More recently it is famous for being a film location for the Game of Thrones series. 
When you reach the top, legend says you have to ring the bell 3 times and make a wish! 
We'll make our way back across the bridge for some much needed refreshment and a picnic before heading back to the ship where you can gather your belongings and make your way home or on to your next adventure!
