It has many beautiful beaches and groups the cities of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham (124.000 inhabitants).

The very soft temperature is due to the Gulf Stream, which makes it possible the palm trees to survive.


Brixham


The Pamir stopped there in 1956 for the departure of the Windjammer Race Torbay - Lisbon.

She then reached Hamburg on May 6th, 1956.
