Ria de Camarinas - General Info
COVID19: OPEN PORT
Status: Open to all yachts from 15 June, 2020.
- See Spain Biosecurity for details.
Description:
Tucked into the northern side of the attractive Ria de Camarinas, the town of Camarinas is a very pleasant stop along the wild Costa da Morte of Galicia. Unfortunately the “look” of the town has been somewhat spoilt by careless modern construction, however, it is the type of town where the ladies still sit in doorways making lace. The setting of the Ria, however, is beautiful and remote.
In strong on-shore winds though, the Ria itself can be dangerous to enter, but the marina is sheltered from most directions.
Camarines is small and remote and there are few yachting services.
Position:
43° 07.41’N, 09° 10.60’W (Camarines harbor)

We did anchor for the night at the north East of Camarina bay. Well protected with 6 to 5 meters depth. Sand in the North East, Mud at North and North West.
Marina Muxia is run by the gas station attendant who will sprint to the pontoon to take your lines. Very friendly and helpful, some English spoken, water and electricity on pontoons, diesel by portable pump trolley. Wifi, laundry, two shower stalls and one toilet per gender and small sailors hangout with soft drink vending machine and library. The town is small with a mix of tourist apartments, some old stone houses and nearby pilgrim site.
Many restaurants/cafes and two medium sizes supermercados, one with freshly baked bread. Hardware shop and some other amenities in town as well, all a short walk away.
We can recommend Camarinas. Good price, helpful; staff and a nice but quiet town (except when the festival of Carmen is on in July when the noise lasting 4 days is worth the lack of sleep).
08/2014: Club Nautico de Camarinas: € 25,- / day for 14 m. No laundry at marina, but available in town. Free WiFi. Occasionally light swell from bypassing fishing vessels.
