Discover Galicia
Vigo
Take a walk through the streets of Casco Vello (old town) for some delicious seafood, tapas and drinks. Visit Castrelos park or go to O Castro for the best views of Vigo and its Ría. Oyster lovers should not miss the outdoor market Mercado da Pedra.
Santiago de Compostela
The final stop on the epic Way of St. James pilgrimage trail, Santiago is a unique city. Visit the imposing cathedral, the traditional Mercado de Abastos, walk through its arcaded streets of stone to the magical sound of the Galician bagpipe. For food, take a stroll down Rúa do Franco or Rúa Coruña to taste some delicious tapas and local dishes. And don't miss the local speciality: Tarta de Santiago (almond cake)
Baiona
In 1493, Baiona was the first to receive the news of Colombus' successful journey to America, as one of his three boats -La Pinta- reached this old town. Visit the Parador and walk along the walls of Castillo de Monterreal for a panoramic view of the Cíes Islands and Baiona's coastline, stop for some tapas and drinks next to the waterfront, or climb up to Virgen de la Roca viewpoint for an even better view of the area. You can visit a replica of La Pinta at the port.
Pontevedra
Pontevedra is a beautiful historical ensemble with green areas, Galician-style architecture and narrow arcaded streets.
Islas Cíes
The Cies Islands (National Park) are one of Galicia's most beautiful tourist attractions. These two islands are linked by Playa de Rodas, a 1.3km beach ranked amongst Spain's top beaches. Explore its white sand beaches, walk along the lagoon and climb up to the lighthouse for some breathtaking views of the islands' cliffs and Galicia's coastline. The islands are only accessible by boat and there is a maximum daily capacity, so if you are planning to go, let us know well in advance so that we can secure some tickets for you.
O Morrazo
This small peninsula has everything: beautiful cliffs, white sand beaches and small fishing ports where you can taste the best fish and seafood you've ever tried. Swim at the cove in Melide, visit the lighthouse in Cabo de Home for a close view of the Cíes Islands, take a dip in Galicia's crystal-clear (and cold!) waters at Limens, Menduiña, Lapamán... (The only way to reach the most beautiful spots in this area is by car). Reach out to us for specific recommendations!
