From Galicia to the green Basque Country
From the wind-swept coasts of Galicia to the green Basque Country: step aboard the tall ship Morgenster for a 5-day sailing adventure along the spectacular northern coast of Spain. This voyage from A Coruña to Pasai brings together the joy of coastal exploration with the camaraderie and the rhythm of life under sail.
A coastal voyage full of character
Unlike an ocean crossing, during this cruise we follow Spain’s Atlantic coastline, where rugged cliffs, sleepy fishing villages, and hidden coves await us. Depending on the weather and the wind, we will likely stop at one or two ports along the way. Each harbor has its own charm, with colorful houses, lively quaysides, and cafés that seem made for sailors fresh from the sea.
On board, the pace is relaxed but never dull. You can help set the sails, take the helm, or learn the ropes — or simply enjoy the view from the deck as the coastline slowly drifts by. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or embarking on your first adventure, everyone finds their sea legs aboard the Morgenster.
The joy of the journey
As we leave A Coruña behind, the sails fill with the Atlantic breeze, and the coastline unfolds like a storybook of Spanish maritime history. During the day, the sun sparkles on the waves; at night, the stars return to their watchful posts above the masts.
This passage offers time to unwind, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the sea, with nature, and with yourself. Expect good company, hearty meals, and that unique sense of freedom that only a tall ship can offer.
By the time we reach Pasai, tucked between the green hills near San Sebastián, you’ll step ashore refreshed, inspired, and carrying memories of a journey that feels both timeless and personal.
