This book is the essential companion for yachtsmen heading south from North West Europe and Biscay. It is clearly laid out with comprehensive and detailed pilotage information for yachtsmen whether they are on a sailing holiday in Galicia, a leisurely cruise down the Iberian Peninsula towards the Mediterranean, or needing ports of refuge as they haul down the eastern Atlantic at the start of an Ocean cruise.

This Guide builds on the original work of Oz Robinson and Anne Hammick. The sixth edition of this pilot has been completely updated from visits to the area by Martin Walker (Galicia) and Henry Buchanan (Portugal and Southern Spain) during 2009 and 2010. The text and plans incorporate all the latest information. Many new ground level photographs have been added and this new edition incorporates completely new aerial photos taken during the summer of 2010 by Patrick Roach. Atlantic Spain and Portugal is the classic guide to this varied coast which includes the rias of of Galicia, the estuaries of the Douro and Tejo with Lisbon, the Algarve and then the coast of Andalucia down to Gibraltar. It's the essential companion for yachts making passage to the Mediterranean or onwards to the Canaries before an Atlantic crossing and also a comprehensive cruising companion for anyone visiting the delightful cruising grounds of Galicia and beyond.

The book is supported by a comprehensive list of files available online here for free download.
