The Romans referred to Cíes Islands in Galicia as “the islands of the Gods,” and you can clearly see why the idyllic paradise had also been voted as the “Best Beach in the World” by the newspaper The Guardian. The crystal clear waters lap on to the soft, white sand on the beach, and the lake nearby is so transparent that visitors can see the variety of fish that live below.
The surroundings are that of a fairy tale, and visitors can enjoy taking in not only the refreshing waters but the stunning landscapes as well. Facilities on the beach include toilets, lifeguards, a medical station, bars, and restaurants.
