Since last Wednesday and until next Sunday, the island of La Graciosa is experiencing for the first time a concentration of optimist sailors from the Canary Islands. Forty-three sailors from the Real Club Náutico de Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Arrecife have gathered to prepare for the upcoming season of the Canary Optimist Circuit.
The sailors, camped on El Salado beach, sail daily in a trophy format with three daily races that will culminate on Saturday. With favorable wind and a climate in which friendship between the clubs predominates, the sailors enjoy the benefits of the biosphere reserve.
