ANDALUCIA

Famous visitor to Scarbados . . .
The Galeón Andalucía is a replica of a 16th-17th century galleon, the only one in the world that sails in present days.
These are the type of vessel used by the Spanish Crown for maritime expeditions during the 16th through the 18th centuries. Galleons were intended to discover and then establish trade routes between Spain, America and the Philippines islands, and formed what was then called the “Fleet of the Indies”.
She looks magnificent but will leave at High Tide on Wednesday morning, bound for Lowestoft. Extra shows some of the rigging . . . that just about ties it all up for today.
