ARCHIVED - 4th to 15th December, visit the galleon Andalucía in the port of Cartagena
A 55-metre replica of the galleons which sailed the Atlantic and helped shape modern history
The galleon Andalucía, a replica of the ships which made the Spanish fleet a world power in the days of the Empire in South America, is docking in Puerto de Mazarrón until 1st December, after which she will be open to visitors alongside the marina in the port of Cartagena from 4th to 15th December.
The Andalucía is 55 metres long and is built of iroko and pine wood. Its four masts carry seven sails with an area of 930 square metres, making her a floating museum of Spain’s maritime heritage, and she is currently engaged in a tour of ports in Spain, France, the Netherlands and Germany.
In 2010 the Andalucía, which is owned by the Nao Victoria Foundation, sailed from Sevilla to the Expo Shanghai exhibition, and in 2013 she crossed the Atlantic to spend 4 years in the Americas, visiting Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico and cities such as New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Miami, San Juan (Puerto Rico), Toronto and Quebec. This has made it possible for thousands upon thousands of people to learn about the role this kind of ship played shaping modern history, and what life was like on board.
While in Cartagena the Andalucía will be open to members of the public and will also be hosting school visits. Opening times are from 10.00 to 18.30 with admission priced at 7 euros for adults and 4 euros for children aged 5 to 10. Discounts are available for family groups and under 5s are welcomed free of charge.
Tickets are available in the port or online at www.fundacionnaovictoria.org, while groups wishing to visit should contact comunicacion@fundacionnaovictoria.org or call 954 090956.
