The Spanish frigate Méndez Núñez

Everybody who visits London this weekend have the opportunity to walk on Spanish ground without leaving the country. How is that possible?

The Spanish Navy frigate Méndez Núñez is mooring on the West India Dock. The ship dropped anchor the past Friday and it will be in London until tomorrow. The ship is open to the public on Sunday (10:30-12:30 and 16:30-19:30) and Monday (10:30-12:30). The crew is organising a very interesting tour in which you can know everything you want about this ship and the Navy. 

The Méndez Núñez has returned from Scotland, where the ship participated in a NATO joint training exercise. The Joint Warrior was the largest military exercise in Europe with numerous warships, aircraft, marines and troops involved. In total, around 13,000 personnel participated in the practice.
