The tour will begin on July 30 in the French city of Les Sables d'Olonne, with arrival in Avilés on August 1. From that day on, the 80 participating vessels will arrive in the pants of the marina, which will leave again for Les Sables d'Olonne on August 5.

According to the Asturian rotative LA NEW SPAIN, the region of Avilés will be promoted in the French city of Les Sables d'Olonne for five days on the occasion of the departure of the race "Transgascogne 6.50," which will arrive in the city of Avilés on the first of August. Coinciding with the stay of the boats in the villa, different activities will be scheduled on the promenade of the ría, as exhibitions, until August 5. The sports councilwoman, Ana Hevia, and the city promotion councilwoman, Manuel Campa, met yesterday with the Regata organizer, Marc Chopin, to "close the last fences." "We move our interest in taking advantage of the river for more things and not just for this very concrete one. The arrival of the race will be a great attraction to start the big summer month in the city," Campa said. The stay of the race will match other events in Avilés, such as the festival "Taste de plaza en plaza".

The tourism services of Avilés and region will be in the French city between 25 and 30 August, which is when the race comes out. Since 1 August, the activity will be moved to Avilés. Day 5, date of departure of the ships, the idea is to organize "a good show... we want the ships to be visible from the coast for one or two hours: from the beach of Salinas, the lighthouse of San Juan... We want to take advantage of all the tourist resources within our reach."During these weeks, the city promotion councillor will also contact the tourism offices of the two cities to organize. "France is a point of interest for tourism promotion", said Campa.
