The Cíes Islands
are the Vigo estuary’s greatest treasure
An amazing national marine-terrestrial park and one of the country’s most beautiful places, which is why the Romans named them the islands of the gods. The Cíes archipelago is made up of three islands: Monte Agudo, O Faro and San Martiño. The first two are connected by a long strip of sand: Rodas Beach, the best beach in the world, according to The Guardian.
The Cíes are part of the Atlantic Islands National Park, a beach paradise with crystalline waters, in a natural environment that makes it a unique wildlife observatory.
The visit is sponsored by Concello de Vigo and it is free until seating capacity of the boat is reached. If you want to participate in this beautiful experience and you are already registered or you will do your registration, please send us an email to organization@martec2018.com to book your seat!
Friday, May 5th from 16.30 to 20.30.
