Fancy a trip to the charming Cíes Islands, renowned for their diverse wildlife, abundant plant life and white sandy beaches? You'll start your journey at the Maritime Station, where a two-deck catamaran awaits to whisk you away on a brief 40-minute sail to this mesmerising archipelago, one of Spain's most extraordinary natural parks.
Comprising three islands, the archipelago offers four walking trails leading you to various lighthouses, beaches and viewpoints. Here, you can appreciate the rich ecology and one of Europe's finest bays. It's quite possible you'll leave your heart here! The ferry will drop you off at Monteagudo Island (also known as North Island), which is connected to Faro Island (or Middle Island) by a breakwater or Rodas beach - a titleholder of The Guardian's 'best beach in the world'.
Once you've landed, depending on the season, an informative guided tour may be included or you might prefer to discover the splendour of the Maritime-Terrestrial Atlantic Islands National Park at your own pace. Feel free to take a dip in the clear waters, soak up the seagulls' calls and savour a refreshing drink under the sun - it's entirely up to you!
