Islas Cies, the islands of the gods, are the greatest treasure of Vigo’s estuary. Collectively, they form an exceptional national marine-terrestrial park and one of Spain’s most beautiful places.
The Cies Islands consist of three islands, O Faro, Monte Agudo, and San Martino; the first two are linked by a big section of sand known as Rodas Beach, which The Guardian deemed the best beach in the world. The Cies Islands are part of Atlantic Islands National Park, a beach oasis with sparkling waters in a natural environment that acts as a unique wildlife observatory. Visitors can only access the isles by ferry or private boat, with San Martino only accessed using the latter. Islas Cies
