Nao Victoria y El Galeon

A very dull and overcast day, with no sunshine!

Went to the Doctors this lunchtime for my flu jab and also received the one for pneumonia as well!   A sure sign of aging I think!!

Anyway this afternoon I went to see the two replica Spanish Galleons in the Marina.   They are here until next week.   

The main picture is of the Nao Victoria, a replica of the ship which sailed around the World.   The origianl left Seville in 1519 accompanied by four other Naos or Ships;  Santiago, San Antonio, Trinidad and Concepcion.  Only Nao Victoria returned to Seville in 1522 after circumnavigating the globe for the first time.

In extras you can see two Galleons - the smaller being the Victoria and the larger El Galeon, a generic Spanish Galleon of the 17th Century which was built in 2009/10.

Other extras include some shots of the iside of El Galeon.   Great to be able to go aboard and look around.   

Hope you all have a good weekend.
