Explanada de España, 1. Alicante
During the first half of the day, after the Volvo Ocean Race Museum visit and a hearty breakfast, participants will be divided into teams of 6 to 10 people, and will take part in a sports competition: a little race to Tabarca.
Once you get the island, the group has the opportunity to enjoy the typical gastronomy of Tabarca. The Caldero, a speciality from the island which is presented in two courses: first the rockfish, simmered with potatoes in a rich fish stock; then the rice, cooked in the same stock, with a powerful allioli (a jellylike emulsion of garlic and olive oil) on the side.
Tabarca is the only inhabited island of Valencia and is located opposite the city of Alicante, eleven nautical miles. Its shores in the past housed a shelter for pirates. In the eighteenth century, Carlos III ordered to fortify the island and built a town to refuge several families of fishermen of Genoa who were captive in the Tunisian city of Tabarka. The walls surrounding the town have been declared a Historical and Cultural Interest Site.
After lunch, we will celebrate the presentation of the certificates for the participation in the Sailing Day with a themed ceremony. About 6.30pm, the boat will go back to Alicante.
