Final thoughts on Puerto Calero


Just to share a couple of thoughts for anyone who might plan to visit Puerto Calero. 

  • Very helpful staff and speak good English – Mel is English.
  • Clean water, area around marina and facilities
  • Secure- does not feel very secure without gates but there is CCTV and security guard 24hours.
  • Not ideal for provisions as supermarket small and a bit over priced but can walk to Puerto Carmen in around 50 mins for a bigger supermarket but hire car is best option.
  • Can rent car from marina – around 30 euros a day
  • Boatyard is efficient and the staff friendly and helpful – good stock of anti-fouling but quite expensive. Did not have a very good experience with Volvo engineer, other services are very busy at peak time of year so may struggle to get work done.
  • Chandlery in marina not very well stocked – can get Camping Gas but cheaper to get at garage in Macha but need a car to get there.
  • Big selection of restaurants on marina front – Mexican (on 1sr floor below marina office) was very nice and Indian Take-away was good (lots of food) and reasonable priced with takeaway discount.
Busy Puerto Calero
