Isole Cíes

Cíes Islands Essentials

The Cíes Islands, part of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, feature a diverse ecosystem of saltwater lagoons, granite cliffs, and white sand beaches. This list includes the crescent-shaped Rodas Beach, which links the Monteagudo and O Faro islands, and the 19th-century Faro de Cíes lighthouse standing 178 meters above sea level. Key geological features like the wind-sculpted Pedra da Campá provide nesting grounds for European shags, while the O Lago lagoon serves as a natural nursery for marine life.
