Break at Cíes Islands

Hidden beaches and wild treks among eucalyptus trees are good reason to pay a visit to Cíes islands .

Well preserved, located just across Vigo, will let in only a limited number of visitors per day.

We would recommend a visit to Cíes or Ons island (one where we stayed during the Sende trip) in June or September (less tourists).

The best time at these islands is at 20:00. The time when the last boat, with daily tourists going back to mainland.

Only a handful of visitors with tents would stay. Dinner, guitars and the sound of the island…

And

do not forget to visit one of chiringuitos (beach house with drinks and food) and have fish and beers.

Pro tip:

Meet the local fishermen, buy a fish and have a BBQ during the evening. (Thanks Toño for this experience at Ons).

Islas Cíes are located 1h:35min from our place.

Thanks Olya, Maruchi and Koki for the company.

Special thanks to Petarda from Croatia.
