<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Free tours of the Nao Victoria and Galeon Andalucia in Cadiz Port: February 2 to 6

Tourists and residents alike can step aboard the impressive Nao Victoria and Galeón Andalucía historic ship replicas currently docked in Cadiz this week as part of a tour of Spanish ports.

From Wednesday February 2 to Sunday February 6, free hour-long (non-guided) tours for groups, clubs, associations and organisations are available from 10am to 6pm.

The Nao Victoria and the Galeón Andalucía are replicas of historic ships dating from 1519 to the 18th century, restored by the Nao Victoria Foundation.

And now the Cadiz public is being offered the chance to learn about the history of these ships, touring the decks and the interpretation centres onboard whilst meeting crew members who have sailed thousands of miles around the world on these vessels.

The Nao Victoria and the Galeón Andalucía are in Cadiz as part of the Exploraterra 2022 Tour, which began in Sevilla on January 26, and in which replicas of historic ships from the great era of Spanish-Portuguese maritime expeditions will visit various ports on the Iberian Peninsula.

The original Nao Victoria completed the greatest maritime feat of all times when it left Sevilla in 1519, commanded by Juan Sebastian Elcano, and returned to the same city in 1522 after circumnavigating the world for the first time in history.

The tour is led by the Nao Victoria Foundation in collaboration with local and regional tourist boards and governments, and is financed with Feder funds through the Interreg V A Spain Portugal Programme (Poctep) 2014-2020.

Visits must be arranged in advance by calling 954 090 956.
