GALICIA

ATLANTIC ISLANDS OF GALICIA NP
If in the past the Cíes were pirate heaven, they are now uninhabited and open to the public only in summer. Thus they are preserved as a natural paradise, without hurry, without traffic. Only the sound of the waves and the wind. But if you miss the noise, go up to the Lighthouse. The views are impressive and you can enjoy a unique spectacle: the screaming of thousands of seagulls (perhaps the largest colony in Europe) on the cliffs
AS RIAS
Stretching from Vigo to Ribadeo, the Rias are a unique natural phenomenon. Formed by large estuaries on a rough coastal area of cliffs, rocks and sharp falls combine with broad areas of sand accessible from land or from the sea. The fisherman communities found a natural protection on the Rias, resulting on the numerous ports. From Rías Altas to the Rías Baixas passing by the estuaries of the Costa Ártabra and those of the A Costa da Morte, you have an intricate 1,498 kilometers of coastline to explore.
RIBEIRA SACRA Y CAÑON DEL SIL
Impressive cliffs in an unforgettable landscape. Small centenary monasteries
