Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Looking for a boat? This photo-illustrate classifieds site has hundreds if not thousands of them, new and second-hand, from luxury yachts or ocean-going fishing vessels to pottering-around boats for taking the kids out. They are sorted by type (motor, sail or pneumatic), class (cruiser, launch, competition...), make and location (essentially region), and you can specify size, age or bottom price, and if that is not enough, you can place a free "Looking For" ad. Spanish-only, but worth making the effort if you are seriously in the market.

The King's Cup, the most important event by far in Spain's annual sailing calendar. Juan Carlos takes part himself, which has always struck me as cheating.

Portuguese-only site of the Portuguese Sailing Federation.

Over 800 moorings listed at the time of writing.

Weekly or daily cruises with and without skipper in the Algarve or from Cascais on high standard blue water sailing yachts.
