Therefore, today we present the 3 viewpoints<\/strong> with which you will get the most impressive photographs<\/strong> and with which, if you want, you can leave everyone speechless in your social networks.<\/p>\n

In this post we tell you more details!<\/p>\n

Viewpoint of O Alto do Pr\u00edncipe <\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The difficulty of the route in the Cies Islands<\/strong> that leads to this viewpoint is low, with a distance of 2.5 kms (round trip) and a duration of approximately 90 minutes. At the beginning of the trail, you can enjoy the views of the
\n Rhodes Beach<\/strong>
\n<\/a>. As you move forward, you will leave behind this spectacular beach to begin to enjoy a whole spectacle of natural landscapes. You will be able to see cliffs and beaches that can be appreciated in their maximum splendor at the end of the route at the viewpoint of<\/strong> O Alto do Pr\u00edncipe<\/strong><\/a>. It is located 115m above sea level. From there you will be able to take incredible pictures and videos.<\/p>\n

Once there, you will find the well-known Queen’s Chair<\/strong>The two sides that make up the C\u00edes Islands. <\/strong>You will be able to see the west side very steep and the east side much gentler with views into the interior of the Vigo estuary<\/a> and Rhodes Beach.<\/p>\n

Middle Island Lighthouse Road or “Do Faro”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The next must-see viewpoint is located on one of the longest routes of the Cies Islands<\/strong>, consisting of a 7 km trail (round trip) and a duration of approximately 3 hours. In spite of this, it is a simple path. Along the route, we find a lake where you can see different marine species, as well as the well-known Pedra da Camp\u00e1<\/strong>. The latter is a large rock perforated by erosion.<\/p>\n

Next to it is a viewpoint from which to observe the birds that nest on the cliffs of the Atlantic side of the island. Good place to shoot your camera. If you have a telephoto lens, you can also get stunning images of animals in their natural environment.<\/p>\n

Continuing the ascent, you will reach the emblematic lighthouse where you will enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the three islands<\/strong> that make up the archipelago, the beaches, the cliffs and the entire Vigo estuary.<\/p>\n

A Porta de Islas Cies Lighthouse Viewpoint<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

To finish the list you have the viewpoint Faro de A Porta. This trail, less traveled than the previous ones, offers views closer to the sea. The time required to complete this route is approximately 5.3 kms (round trip) with a duration of 105 minutes. During this route you will be able to enjoy
\n the beach of Nosa Se\u00f1ora<\/strong>
\n<\/a> and the pier of Carracido. Once you reach the end of the trail you will be at A Porta Lighthouse <\/strong>. From here, you will enjoy a panoramic view of the islands of San Marti\u00f1o<\/strong>, which is the southernmost island of the archipelago.<\/p>\n
