ARCHIVED - Alicante Port hosts final leg of Ocean Race Europe
The port in Alicante comarca on the Costa Blanca was the starting point for the third and final leg of the competition.
Alicante Port was chosen to host the third and final leg of Ocean Race Europe, a new competition as part of the Sailing World Tour, last week.
In a boost for the hospitality sector, the city hosted 12 international crews, with around 600 tourist apartments booked up from last Wednesday, June 9, before they set sail for Genoa where they are expected to arrive on June 19.
The event was considered such a success that Alicante Port will host this section of the Sailing World Tour (La Vuelta al Mundo) in 2022, when the same 65-foot long boats will return to the city's coastline.
