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!

The Atlantic Islands National Park is one of Galicia’s main treasures, a sanctuary of nearly untouched coastal islands on Galicia’s southwestern coast in the Rias Baixas region. The Cies Islands, located just a short ferry ride from the region’s biggest city of Vigo, are the most-visited part of this park.

Camping is one of the top things to do here, as you can spend the night in a virgin, untouched landscape and be rocked to sleep by the sounds of crashing waves as you relax in a dreamlike environment.

800 spots in the Cies camping area give those who reserve in advance a great opportunity to live a “glamping” experience in an unforgettable setting. After a long day of exploring the islands’ beaches, including Rodas, named the best in the world by The Guardian newspaper, there’s nothing like laying out under the stars and being rocked to sleep.

If you are lucky enough to plan a vacation to Galicia, be sure to add camping at the Cies islands to your list of things to do. You certainly won’t regret this one-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re a big fan of ocean sunsets, here are four places that you must travel to see the sun disappear.

Santorini, Greece

This idyllic Mediterranean island offers one of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world. Watch the sun disappear over the white and blue buildings of the island and into the sea and marvel at the beauty of this spectacle.

Zanzibar, Tanzania

This archipelago in the Indian Ocean also hosts some of the most precious late evening sites that you can find anywhere. Be sure to check out Nungwi Beach for one of the best sunset spots in Zanzibar.

Cies Islands, Spain

Located in the Atlantic Ocean off of the coast of Galicia, the Cies Islands offer a great sunset to anyone who camps to spend the night there. Watching the sky turn blood red as the sun dips into the immense ocean is an unforgettable sight.

Boracay, Philippines
