The historic sailing ship Pascual Flores is now available for public visits at Marina Salinas. After completing an impressive tour of Europe, where it visited twenty-one ports in France, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, the vessel has docked in Torrevieja. This year, it participated in significant international events, including Sail Amsterdam and the Tall Ship Race, where it excelled by ranking first in its category.

Since its construction in Torrevieja in nineteen seventeen for the profitable salt trade with the Mediterranean and Africa, the Pascual Flores has become a symbol of Torrevieja’s maritime heritage. Thanks to the collaboration of the Torrevieja City Council and the Nao Victoria Foundation, this classic vessel continues to sail the seas as an ambassador for the town’s history and culture.

Throughout its European journey, the Pascual Flores navigated thousands of nautical miles and welcomed visitors aboard in every port it docked. More than thirty-five thousand individuals have had the opportunity to discover the ship’s naval construction mastery and the rich maritime heritage of Torrevieja.

The vessel is open to the public for visits from Thursday to Sunday until after Christmas, with guided tours available for educational groups and associations. The visiting hours are from ten in the morning until six in the evening, with an entrance fee of five euros, which can be purchased on board or through the foundation’s website.
