Exploring Ria Arousa

After a night at anchor at Muros we were planning to be in a marina in Ria Arousa last night – at a town called Pobro do Camarinal. We moored up but then, as we walked up to sign in and part with cash, we saw a big funfair in the park just next door. “I say old chap, what time does the fiesta go on until?” we asked in our best Spanish. “A dos horas de manana!” shrugged the Mariniero. “Thanks awfully, we’ll be off!” He didn’t take offence and we found a much better place – an anchorage off a small beach where we’ve just watched four horses being exercised in the sea – they swam to within 100m of us (we’re only in 4m depth at low tide). A magical spot and a completely calm night so it was real bonus to discover it.

Here are a few photos of Muros to give you an idea of the place:

Today we're in a small marina called Vilanova so we're off to explore!
