We Visit An Island With Just 50 Residents!
🏝️ Island Escapes, Floating Cocktails & Spanish Festivals - Sailing Spain on Our Liveaboard Catamaran
This week aboard Rúna has been all about exploring with friends and discovering hidden gems along the Spanish coast, away from the big, built-up cities. With two friends joining us onboard, we left the busy, built-up shores of La Manga and sailed in search of beautiful anchorages and a little more of the authentic Spain.
If you have any recommendations for beautiful anchorages in the Med, we'd love to hear about them in the comments!
Our first stop in this week's video was a tiny island with a population of just 50 people! Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, this little paradise was the perfect spot for swimming, exploring and relaxing, exactly what we were looking for!
From there, we made a return to the populated Spanish coastline as we headed for Alicante, where we were swept up in a vibrant local festival before heading to the charming coastal town of Moraira. We wrapped up this incredible stretch of sailing in Dénia, where we were forced to dock up as our sails had to come off the boat.
