The only English pilot for Spain’s full Med mainland coast

Second edition with updated plans and over 100 aerial photos – a vital guide for cruising from Gibraltar to Barcelona and beyond.

The second edition of this well-received title from the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation covers the entire Mediterranean mainland coast of Spain from Gibraltar to the French border.

This is the only detailed pilot for the Spanish Mediterranean coast running up from Gibraltar to the border with France. It covers a varied cruising area that includes the mountain-backed Costas del Sol and Blanca, the expansive lagoon of the Mar Menor, the low-lying Ebro delta and the rugged Costa Brava. In between are several great cities including Málaga, Valencia, Tarragona and Barcelona, the Catalan capital.

The volume opens with Gibraltar and La Línea. With Imray charts for the same coast, Mediterranean Spain provides all the detail necessary for anyone based in Spain, transiting to and from areas further east or the Balearics, or simply exploring this rich and varied coast and its hinterland.

The coverage has been revised with updated text, new plans, and additional chart updates based on the latest information. This edition has been enhanced by the inclusion of over 100 aerial photographs showing coastline and harbour approaches.

About the Author

Steve Pickard had extensive experience of cruising the waters for which he wrote, having first visited both South Biscay and Mediterranean Spain on a yacht delivery in 1976. He joined the Pilotage Foundation in 2009, and more recently circumnavigated Spain to survey from Galicia to the Gironde – a trip that spanned Gibraltar to Cowes. He passed away in early 2024.

About Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation

Imray has worked with the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation since 1985. The Foundation is a charity which collects and researches written, photographic and chart information relating to small boat pilotage, navigation and operation, climate and weather conditions, including information from remote areas of the world where other sources of information are scarce or non-existent.

The authors who work with the Foundation are respected and experienced cruising sailors, with thousands of nautical miles of cruising under their belts.

Once the Pilotage Foundation has researched and edited the material about a particular cruising area, Imray shapes it into a book, creating the cartography (often where there is very little official survey data as a source) and combining this with the manuscript and photos to create a new cruising guide.
