Costa de València Espanya

València és Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències

Partit Nacional ValènciaLa Comunitat Valenciana es troba a la costa sud-est d’Espanya. Una de les ciutats més antigues, maques i la tercera més poblada d’Espanya després de Madrid i Barcelona. No obstant això, el barri de Mislata a la Costa de València, Espanya, és la zona més densament poblada d’Espanya. Va ser conquerida l’any 138 aC pels romans i posteriorment ocupada pels visigots i els moriscos. L’any 1982, amb l’Estatut d’Autonomia Valencià, la província es va integrar a la Comunitat Valenciana. La Costa de València, Espanya, és una Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, plena d’història però amb alguns racons futuristes a les seves estructures, amb un museu interactiu, un oceanari i un planetari.

València és una de les ciutats més grans d’Espanya.

València Espanya (art i ciències)Un passeig en barca pel parc de l’Albufera, rutes de senderisme i una reserva d’aiguamolls és una de les moltes activitats que podeu trobar. València és una de les ciutats més grans d’Espanya pel que fa al clima, amb boniques platges per gaudir de l’experiència de llogar un xàrter nàutic a València a Eivissa o Formentera . O, si tens pensat comprar un vaixell o un iot, trobaràs 33.500 ofertes (catamarans, embarcacions a motor, velers, iots d’ocasió, basses) a la Costa de València, Espanya.
La ciutat portuària de València es troba entre el riu Túria i el mar Mediterrani. És el quart port més transitat d’Europa i el més gran d’Espanya i de la conca del mar Mediterrani.

Paella Valenciana EspanyaLa beguda a València és Aigua de València, i els seus ingredients (suc de taronja acabat d’esprémer, cava, vodka, ginebra i molt de gel) no tenen res a veure amb el nom. L’orxata també és molt popular però natural, feta amb xufa (també conegut com xufa). Aquesta tubercule creix als camps d’Alboraya, un petit poble al nord de València. I no m’oblido de la Dieta Mediterrània: La famosa Paella Valenciana.

Sant Josep.

Sant Josep València EspanyaValència mostra amplis llistats de la UNESCO. Flamenc, Torre Humana, Festa Major de Déu de la Salut, Pintures d’art rupestre mediterrani, L’obra de misteri d’Elx, Palmerar d’Elx, Festa de les Falles, Tribunal de l’Aigua de la Plana de València, Itinerari Cultural del Vi i la Vinya Ciutats mediterrànies, i la dieta mediterrània.
En els últims anys, esdeveniments esportius internacionals crítics com l’America’s Cup i el Gran Premi de Fórmula 1 van situar València al mapa mundial. Les Falles és una gran festa a València. 19è dia de música forta, menjar deliciós, il·luminació del carrer, concerts de petards i art temporal, on turistes i locals es reuneixen cada març per honrar el patró dels fusters de la ciutat, Sant Josep.
Ciències i art ValènciaUna altra celebració nacional és al juliol, The Flower Battle. A continuació, l’agost La Tomatina. Un partit de lluita que enfonsa amb tomàquets el petit poble de Buñol. El 9 d’octubre es commemora les entrades a la ciutat de València del Rei Jaume, la Diada de la Comunitat Valenciana, i la Diada de Sant Dionís, la versió local de Sant Valentí.
Per arribar a la ciutat, hi ha l’aeroport principal més proper a l’aeroport de València (VLC), Alacant (ALC/LEAL), Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Eivissa (IBZ) i Barcelona (BCN).
Si t’agrada la música, l’art i el bon menjar, València és la ciutat d’Espanya que has de veure!

Empuriabrava

Known as Venice of Spain

Entrance EmpuriabravaEmpuriabrava is a luxurious community in the municipality of Castelló d’Empúries. Found in the Gulf of Roses, surrounded by the Natural Park of the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, is the largest residential marina in Europe.

Sant Carles Marina Tarragona Spain

A Spanish Marina in Catalonia, Sant Carles Marina Tarragona Spain

Sant Carles Marina is owned and operated by MDL, a British leisure and resort company. The only Marina they own outside the UK is a treasure for boat owners during the long summer months of Mediterranean warmth. This Marina is a couple of hours south of Barcelona. It’s not a huge Marina but has a good mix of power and sailboats.

Network Yacht Brokers Barcelona attracted a good number of listing from Sant Carles Marina, one of which finally came north to Port Ginesta Barcelona so that we can deal with potential sales daily. We had a busy day preparing the yacht to leave Sant Carles Marina, as the owner had not visited her in more than one year.

As this Marina is set slightly inland, surrounded by fields and marshlands, fouling is a particular problem. So regular washing of boats in the Marina is essential to keep the marine environment from a residence on your boat.

Jeanneau 39 DS Yacht For Sale Sant Carles MarinaMission accomplished for the Jeanneau 39 DS Yacht we now have for sale in Port Ginesta. We gave her a good scrub for the owner, who then journeyed up the coast to our home. She has a vast inventory, including electric winches, bow thruster, air conditioning, and a neat solar panel system to keep the start battery fully charged.

If you want a yacht with an interior best described as “as good as new”, please follow the link and look at this beautiful example. The photographs in the specification were taken by ourselves when she arrived in Barcelona in August 2021.

Weather Forecast Barcelona Best Time To Visit

Best Time to Visit Barcelona.

Compared to many other places globally, have you ever wondered why Weather Forecast Barcelona is often inaccurate? How can it be so in this day and age? So when is the best time to visit?

A straightforward answer to all weather-related questions for Barcelona is impossible; the subject is vast, and my knowledge is limited. However, I am happy to share some of my observations as a sailor living in Barcelona for several years. I hope my experience answers your basic questions on the subject.  

“Google”. “Weather Forcast Barcelona.” or “weather forecast Barcelona best time to visit.”

I can answer that general weather question if it refers to late spring or early summer. ” The Weather in Barcelona is amazing“! Any other time apart from mid-summer, when it’s hot hot hot, is excellent! The weather forecast for Barcelona and the surrounding area is incredibly complex, so change your “Google” question to  “Weather Forcast Barcelona City Centre” (or district). This will work better as It’s impossible to generalise all areas in Barcelona.

 

lovely sunset barcelona 55 Weather Forecast Barcelona

A few basics might help you understand my point.

When discussing the Weather forecast in Barcelona, we should consider this a general statement covering an area of more than 100 kilometres. Only in summer can a forecast be nearly correct for every Barcelona area.

More about weather forecasting in Barcelona.

Long summer days when weather systems follow a regular pattern in Spain are not particularly interesting. Hot summers on the beach anywhere in Catalonia can be enjoyed and predicted by everyone. Winter weather in Barcelona and surrounding areas is fascinating. To make a point in this post, let’s skip summer forecasting. 

Autumn in Barcelona.

At the end of summer, the weather transforms overnight from very settled and predictable to often violent, with a much more complex mood as the first snow falls across the Pyrenees. After the snow, winds and storms across the area are massively affected by ice-cold air descending from the mountains. That air crashes into the warm air rising from the Mediterranean Sea. The winds are called mistral and affect many parts of southern France. They play havoc with incoming weather systems even during the summer months, as the air on the top of the mountains is always chilled. Roses in Northern Spain and the coast road in France near Spain’s border often have strong wind warnings even when the weather is relatively calm a few miles away.

September 2020 saw headlines appearing announcing the onset of early snow in the Pyrenees, a sure sign of a long cold winter in Barcelona.

“Early snowfall during September 2020 across French mountain ranges.”

Storm in Barcelona Weather best time to visitSnow has fallen in the Pyrenees very early this year, causing temperatures to drop significantly, leaving a “remarkable” amount of snow forcing some roads to close.”

So, we can blame the early snow in the Pyrenees for the long cold winter in Barcelona! It might be possible to correctly track the weather events that triggered this unpredicted snowfall in September 2020. Indeed one might even look deeper and consider the weather patterns associated with El Niño and global warming.

What is El Niño?

El Niño is the name given to the warm phase of the Global Southern Temperature Oscillation associated with a warm ocean water band. Simply put, El Niño is a cycle of warm and cold sea surface temperatures (Warm water develops in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific). 

As a result of the El Niño effect, all places on Earth have varied winters every few years. All other factors, including global warming, must be dropped into the weather mixing pot, resulting in an ever-changing and complex subject exaggerated greatly by local sea temperatures.

Local conditions are affected by the sea.

Let’s look at the bigger picture again, affecting the Mediterranean Sea. We all know that the oceans are affected by the moon’s daily gravitational pull. This effect is as it passes over us, and to a lesser degree, the sun’s track relating to the moon. Before you think I have lost the plot, please stay with me. We will get back to Barcelona’s local weather in a moment! 

I am sure you know the sun and moon have little effect on tidal flows in the Mediterranean. This lack of tidal flow in the Mediterranean happens because the land is less attracted to the sun or moon. Therefore, as we do not have such a tidal water flow in the Mediterranean, temperatures remain much more contained (The water stays warmer for longer). 

When the warm Mediterranean Sea air rises towards the land, it meets Icy cold air falling from the fresh snow on the Pyranise Mountains. The energy created from this event creates localised storms, particularly over Barcelona and Spain’s lowlands.  

Global weather systems

High and low-pressure weather systems generally formed over the oceans travel the globe. As they circulate, powerful low-pressure forces bully dominant high-pressure systems. When all forces are mixed with local wind, forecasting must be very localised to be accurate at a given time.  

Barcelona is not unique, but temperatures and weather vary massively in populated local districts.  

To summarise, when considering a forecast request to “Google”. In the winter months for Barcelona, consider asking a more localised question. Remember, in Castelldefels or Sitges (south of the city centre), the weather can differ significantly from that found in Barcelona’s centre. Varied weather is one of the attractions of sailing in the area. Generally, we have excellent wind and warm days. Severe storms at sea usually happen during the winter months and are dangerous. If you plan to sail during the winter months in the Mediterranean, please look out for rapidly developing thunderstorms. Severe weather along coastal areas in Catalonia can quickly develop occasionally; forecasting is wrong.

Marina Berth For Rent In Spain

We specialise in offering low-cost Marina Berth for rent in Spain. We will also provide information and help boat owners who want to buy or sell a boat or yacht in Spain. From our base in Port Ginesta Barcelona, well placed to negotiate the best terms for you; we always offer a lower price than the Marina tariff. Special terms are available for commissioning and transporting new and used boats.

About Catalonia

Barcelona is the principal city of Catalonia. Some argue it should be the capital of Spain. Madrid Beach and Port ginesta Marinaholds this City title, but for many years Barcelona has been the financial centre of Spain. Barcelona is also one of the most visited cities in Europe, with visitors coming from all points of the Globe. In the centre of Barcelona, the international language of English is widely spoken. One does not need to travel far from the city to find that the use of English fades and Catalan takes over. Spanish is also widely spoken in the region, but Catalan is the dominant language. Many countries have a dual language, which can be why fewer than other places in Spain learn English.
It is no secret that some Catalonian residents would like to operate independently from Spain. In recent years politics about this subject has held back the natural growth of this intellectual region.

The Costas

Costa Brava runs from the French border past Roses and Gerona to a point just North East of Barcelona. White sandy beautiful beaches adorn all the Costas (Coasts) in Spain, but few rivals the beaches’ beauty in Catalonia. Situated in the North East of Catalonia, the Costa Brava does suffer from a calm northerly wind. Cold air falling from the Pyrenees mountains during winter and spring can test and drive this chilled wind. Strong wind warnings are a feature of the Mistral along the southwest corner of France. The Coast along the Costa Brava is a little rockier than you will find as you progress south past Barcelona. Some of the bays in Costa Brava are beautiful.
Marina Berthing for rent is plentiful, from the mega-resort of Emporia Brava close to Roses to the simple Catalan marina with just a few local fishing boats.

Costa Del Maresme

Least well known and no doubt because Barcelona sits in this region and dominates the language. Relatively flatter and slightly industrialised, Costa Del Maresme has many first-class beaches and resorts. Marinas in Barcelona’s centre are very popular but more challenging than town locations. Pricing from one Marina to another varies a great deal. English is not always understood and can often result in a feeling that you’re not wanted through a phone inquiry.

Costa Garaf

Our home base, Port Ginesta, is the biggest marina in Catalonia, with over 1500 marina berths for rent, so you can always be sure of a warm welcome. Port Ginesta has a beach within the Marina complex, locally known as the private beach. This beach is small but is open to the public. Tucked away in the southern corner of Port Ginesta, it offers a degree of seclusion that the main beach of Casteldefells cannot give. It’s also travelling a little further along the coast to Sitges where more great beaches can be found.

Castelldefels

The main beach in Castelldefels runs from Poort Ginesta Marina entrance for about 6 kilometres. A wide cycle path runs along the entire length of the beach. Apart from a short section, the cycle path is hidden from the road. Thousands of people visit the beach daily in the summer, and hundreds enjoy windsurfing. Next to the entrance of Port Ginesta, you can find a section of the sea for surfing where perfect waves crash onto the sandy beach. In the summer months, beach bars keep visitors refreshed and fed. All sorts of sports are available on Castelldefels Beach, from volleyball, windsurfing, dingy and cat sailing, or simply swimming in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.

Barcelona News 01

With Covid19, a lot of questions about the future of the Port of Barcelona had been asked. The first one was, continue or not the environmental initiatives.

Barcelona port

At Network Yacht Broker, we are interested in modernising ports and marinas and preserving the environment.
We will be talking a little about environmental engagement and

The COVID19.

After a considerable debate between members of the World Ports Climate Action Program (WPCAP), they decided to increase and promote new actions “to accelerate the reduction of emissions in the maritime industry to a 50% for 2030”.

The first action is the Dock electrification in each port worldwide, creating a new battery to optimise the dock stair.
The project includes decarbonisation of the Maritimes transport and terminal equipment.

The last project is not the easiest to accelerate implementing the solution of Power to Ship (P2S). In a few words, it consists of facilitating sustainable low carbon fuels at all of the installations.

They also encourage the creation of The Hermitage Museum in The Nova Bocana against the opinion of the “Govern”.New Hermitage Museum
This museum will be in total agreement with the port’s environment, blending culture and navigation just as we like it at Network Yacht Brokers.
The project is for 2022, and 82 million tourists are expected.
The Hermitage Museum of San Petersburg will sponsor 3 exhibitions, and one will be with only new artwork.

Sitges News


Church and Marina beach in Sitges

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sitges is a great yachting centre.

We love the town of Sitges at Network Yachts Broker Barcelona. Apart from sailing and boating, we like the culture and art it offers, and it is a pleasure to share the latest information we have with you. 

Usually, in summer, the port of Sitges is filled with music. Events take place outdoors and cater to every taste in music and festival. Time to party in Sitges begins between July and August. Most events are free of charge, including the famous “Festival Concerts de Mitjanit.

The 2019 Concerts de Mitjanit offered a full proposal with different music styles with a special tribute to all-time’s best female voices.

Other festivals and events are listed below: also Barcelona Festival and Fun.

  • The Festival of the Virgen del Carmen, 
  • “La Gran Noche Lírica”, 
  • The Sitges Big Band, short films with the collaboration of the International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia.
  • Urban Art Show,

This was possible thanks to Sònia Felip, the Foundation of the Port of Aiguadolç. To her, culture is everyone’s heritage, and she feels it is of utmost importance but also a great joy to bring it closer to the people of the port, boat owners or not.

Unfortunately, this year, the “Concerts de Mitjanit” is suspended for the first time in sixteen years due to the risk of contagion by Covid19. 

The port of Sitges and its Foundation have tried to resist until the last moment to continue celebrating it for another year.

Although they are following government guidelines, the current situation seems to be aggravated, and therefore, it is better to be patient and wait for 2021. They are forced to prioritize and make difficult decisions in these challenging times.

If you want, you can also visit the new “Library of the Port”, where people give a second life to books, which remains open all year round.

We propose other fun and curious plans at Network Yacht Broker Barcelona by the new guidelines. 

Follow us to know what is the Sitge’s summer plan in the next post:

@NetworkYachtBrokerBarcelona 

We look forward to answering any queries and giving you information about buying or renting a boat in Stiges with Network Yacht Broker Barcelona.

Today, in Network Yacht Broker Barcelona, we will tell you more about environmental certification. We will speak about Sitges and The Biosphere Destination. 

First of all, what is the Biosphere Destination Certification?

Biosphere Destination is a voluntary and independent certification system based on sustainability and continuous improvement. 

The certification is internationally recognized by the Institute of Responsible Tourism, a non-profit entity supporting UNESCO and the World Tourism Organization. 

It is an excellent reference to international tourism. 

Sitges constantly improves its culture and environment. 

The city of Sitges has successfully supered the audit, and now the new objective of Sitges is to achieve the Gold category.

Therefore, getting to the next level implies that Sitges will adhere to several companies that follow the Biosphere commitment.

Currently, 15 companies have to start the process of joining this 2020. The mayor of Sitges highlights that “it is one more step to be more present” and “the importance of the work between public and private companies.”

Sitges should respect more than 112 objectives to have the Biosphere Destination Certification. The company values if tourism, social and economic policy support for the local community, and improving cultural and environmental heritage. Thanks to the audit, Sitges understood his strengths and opportunities, which will establish a new plan of action for the following year. 

The town hall and its advisers have created a thirty improvement list and eight strength points that must be maintained and further improved.

The most important projects are the Sitges Online Reputation Study which includes concrete measures like a new cleaning contract, encouraging the resident’s recovery task, and maintaining the raft of the “Jardines de Terramar.sustainable sitges

Advisors of Sitges constantly work to improve and sustain the certification, which accredits Stiges as a development model. 

Luís Miguel García (tourism conciliar)

He said it is essential for Sitges to have better private-sector involvement. However, Sitges needs to keep its position as a sustainable tourist destination of international recognition”.

At Network Yacht Broker Barcelona, we think the best way to visit a place like Sitges, following and respecting guidelines, is to travel by boat. It permits visiting different places without taking a car o a plane, booking different hotels, and many other things, as we explain on our web page. 

If you want more information about buying a yacht or yacht charter, follow us on Instagram @NetworkYachtBrokersBarcelona or visit http://www.networkyachtbrokersbarcelona.com.  

We look forward to answering any queries and giving you all the information you want about boats and Sitges.

What is Barcelona like to visit in June?

Beach In Sitges Festival BarcelonaBarcelona Festivals and Fun June 2018. The summer starts the festival season, making Barcelona Province buzz with activity. June is a great month to be here because it is still not very crowded for most of the month. The hoards arrive at the end of July/August when many Spanish companies close for the holidays. You can still get a table in any excellent restaurant, and the beaches are not yet a sea of colourful parasols.This year, we have had tons of rain already. The surrounding area has had plenty of water, so it is greener and healthier than usual. Now, the sun is well and truly out, and the temperature is up. This time of year usually gives us excellent beach weather, but it´s still cool at night.In Barcelona city, one of the most significant festival events each year is the “Nit de St Joan” on 23-24 June. The festival honours both the birth of St. John the Baptist and the Summer Solstice. This festival does bring in crowds, with around 70,000 people in the city for the weekend.It´s like Bonfire Night and New Year´s Eve rolled into one. Beach bonfires are lit, fireworks are everywhere, and an epic street party rocks until the small hours. Revellers often opt for a midnight swim, an age-old custom representing a ¨Baptismal cleanse¨ (or having fun after a few glasses of cava!). Sitges and Castelldefels have smaller versions of the party for those who don´t want to be among many people in the city.Barcelona festivals and fun june 2018

Music is in everyone´s minds as June is also the start of the music festival season.

Primavera (Spring) Sound is a rock and pop festival at the beginning of June – in its 19th year – with open-air concert stages all over the city. The middle of the month also gives us Sonar – a DJ festival offering a chance to dance in the city´s squares.Live appearances by well-known artists are happening this month at the Festival Jardins de Pedralbes. We will see Simple Minds, Elvis Costello, and Emili Sande, and it´s not unusual for us to have another visit from Tom Jones! Shakira is playing at the Palau St. Jordi. There are often free concerts in the main square at the fascinating miniature village of Poble Espanyol. This is worth visiting to see the miniature version of Spain´s (architectural) greatest hits.At the end of the month is the Gay Pride Parade and festival in Barcelona. A smaller version of this festival has already happened in Sitges. This is a very Palau St Jordi festival Barcelonasocial occasion with several free music events and the opportunity to dress up in wacky costumes for the parade.For a real Catalan experience, go and see the Castellers. This month several of the nearby towns of St. Pere de Ribes or Sant Cugat are hosting the ¨human tower¨ competitions, which run nearly yearly. Try not to think about ¨health and safety¨ while you watch a brave five-year-old child scamper to the top of up to 5 levels of people!About us  / Testimonials / Sell Your Boat / Boats For Sale  / News Posts / Boats For Sale News Post / Yacht For Sale PostsBoat Maintainance Posts / Spain information Posts / Living on a Boat Posts  / Marina Berth for Rent Spain / Yacht Brokers Job Posts / Join Us / Yacht Syndicate / Barcelona
