The Cíes Islands are an archipelago located at the entrance of the Vigo estuary.

This archipelago is composed of three islands that measure between 1.5 and 3 kilometers in length: Faro Island ( 106.6 ha) and Monteagudo Island ( 179.5 ha) are joined together, and San Martiño Island ( 145.5 ha) is the southernmost, as well as islets such as Penela dos Viños, Ruzo, Grabelos and Agoeiro.

On the east side of the islands are the beautiful beaches of Rodas and Figueiras, on the sandy isthmus that joins the two islands. Meanwhile, on the west side are the impressive cliffs that have in the top of the Cíes, north of the archipelago, the highest point (197 m).

Discover the beaches
of the Cíes Islands.

The beaches of Rodas, Figueiras and San Martiño are larger and more visited, but the coves of Areíña, Bolos, Cantareira, Margaridas, Muxieiro and Nosa Señora de Carracido complete an offer worthy of representing paradise.

Hiking trails
in the Cíes Islands

The four main itineraries (Cíes Lighthouse Route, Faro da Porta Lighthouse Route, Alto do Príncipe Route y Faro do Peito Lighthouse Route) are signposted and lead to three lighthouses. 

These trails, which have continuous slopes, allow you to cross the islands without entering the reserve zone (the cliffs and furnas that go from Punta do Cabalo, in the north, to Punta do Canabal, in the south), and enjoy all the nature, the landscapes and the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean.

Vehicles do not circulate in the Cíes Islands and the number of daily visits is limited.

No vehicles circulate in the Cíes Islands and the number of visitors per day (limited to 2,200 people) guarantees a certain amount of tranquility. The two main islands are connected by Rhodes beach and a small breakwater bridge, and all roads depart from the jetty.

Un paraíso natural en Galicia

Parque Nacional Marítimo-Terrestre das Illas Atlánticas de Galicia (Galician Atlantic Islands National Maritime-Terrestrial Park)

Belonging to the Parque Nacional Marítimo-Terrestre das Illas Atlánticas de Galicia, declared in 2002, the Cíes Islands had already been declared a Natural Park in 1980. But undoubtedly, despite the importance achieved in Galicia, the greatest recognition has come in the 20th century. In February 2007 the British newspaper The Guardian was seduced by the crystal clear and calm waters, the fine golden sand, and the suggestive crescent shape of Rhodes beach to choose it as “the best beach in the world” and since 2013 the proceedings have been underway to obtain recognition by Unesco as a World Heritage Site.

We take you to one of the most beautiful places in the country.

They were a refuge for pirates in the past, but are currently uninhabited. The Cíes Islands can only be accessed by boat. This is how this natural paradise is preserved. From the lighthouse you can live an incredible experience: the cry of the largest colony of seagulls in Europe with the cliffs at your feet. The richness of the fauna and vegetation of this archipelago (there are more than 200 types of algae), and the spectacular cliffs and dune landscapes, constitute a natural heritage of great value, although we must all participate in its conservation.
