*Step Aboard History: Exploring the Galeón Andalucía in Dover*

In this episode, I journey into the heart of maritime history aboard the *Galeón Andalucía*—a breathtaking full-scale replica of a 17th-century Spanish galleon that docked at Dover Marina from August 6th to 10th, 2025.

With six towering decks and 500 tons of handcrafted detail, this floating museum evokes the golden age of exploration, trade, and adventure across the Atlantic and Pacific. Built by the Nao Victoria Foundation, the ship is a living tribute to the vessels that once connected Spain with the Americas and the Philippines.

Join me as I wander through creaking wooden corridors, peek into the captain’s quarters, and marvel at the craftsmanship that took nearly five years to complete. From billowing sails to interactive exhibits, this visit is a sensory dive into the past.

Expect:
Stunning views of the Dover waterfront
Behind-the-scenes glimpses of the ship’s interiors
Reflections on maritime culture and storytelling
A sprinkle of magic, inspired by the galleon’s grandeur.
