Coast and mountains come together in a verdant setting in Galicia, offering up a wide range of treasures to see and enjoy. If you are planning a trip to Galicia, these are the three locations that you absolutely must not miss.

Cies Islands

Located at the mouth of the Ria de Vigo and only a 45-minute boat ride from Vigo, the region’s biggest city, the Cies Islands are often called the “Galician Caribbean” thanks to their pure, clean, white sand beaches. You will also find hiking routes and curious animals like octopus and otters.

Ribeira Sacra

Did you know that Galicia has a “Grand Canyon” of its own? The Ribeira Sacra region is home to the Sil Canyon, which is split between the interior provinces of Ourense and Lugo and contains a deep gorge where you will find the Sil River at the bottom. Boat rides, hiking, and even vineyards can be found in this unique slice of Galicia. 

Cathedrals Beach

In the extreme northeast of the region, just next to the border with Asturias, you will find Cathedrals Beach. This spot is remote and contains a natural, wild beach which is the home of several natural arches that tower above the Bay of Biscay. Go at low tide, as it’s the only time of day you will be able to walk on the beach!

Playa del Amor, Marietas Islands, Mexico

The hidden beach is far from any human inhabits. It was created artificially by the impact of a bomb during military trials. No doubt it’s an oasis of white sand and crystal clear water that invites relaxation.

One Foot Island, Aitutaki, Cook Islands

Ayutuki  is famous for the turquoise water of its lagoon, its uninhabited islands and its palm beaches. Another advantage is that until recently the island was outside the routes of mass tourism. Tapuaetai Island, also known as One Foot Island, is a small island in the southeast of the lagoon. The island provides the best angle for observation of the lagoon.

Pink beach, Komodo Island, Indonesia

The sand in Komodo island appears pink due to red coral mixed with white sand. The contrasted colors between the water and shore, creates spectacular view.

Polignano a Mare, Puglia, Italy

A beautiful city built on rocks near the sea. Small corridors of sand between the cliffs create small shores inside the magical city.

Cathedrals beach, Ribadeo, Spain

The arches right on shore making the beach look like a natural cathedral. Water pound the rock over and over for thousands and thousands of years, until it created the special view.
