The Cies Islands archipelago is formed of three islands found near the mouth of the Ria de Vigo estuary that cuts along the southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula in northern Spain. These mountainous islands are largely uninhabited and have been protected as a nature reserve since the 1980’s. As such, the sweeping verdant hills and rocky cliff-side coasts remain largely untouched by human activity. The beaches that line the glistening blue shores are particularly popular during the warm summer months. The long, curving beach of Rodas that connects the islands of Monteagudo and Faro was voted the best beach in the world by The Guardian newspaper in 2007. The port of the Cies Islands is nothing but a single concrete pier built upon the rocks that line the eastern coast of the isle of San Martino. There are no roads on the island meaning that travelling to and from the port can only be achieved by traversing the footpaths that lead towards the inland wilds of shrubs and trees that rise and fall over the hilly terrain. Two passenger services currently operate from the port, heading along three different routes. Both Naviera Nabia and Mar de Ons ferries offer daily trips east along the nearby Ria de Vigo to the cities of Vigo and Cangas that sit opposite each other across the water. Both services also sail the short distance south to the picturesque town of Baiona.
In the province of Portevedra, an area within the mountainous north-west corner of Spain, is the coastal town of Baiona. Blessed with a rich medieval history, embodied by the turreted towers of the 16th century Monterreal Castle, Baiona is a vastly popular holiday destination for those yearning to explore the labyrinth of downtown streets and the charming coastline walks that follow the thread of crenellated walls along the coast. The port of Baiona is located in the north of town. The ferry terminal is sandwiched between two crowded marinas on a pier that stretches into the warm waters of a natural Atlantic Ocean bay. Very few facilities exist at the port, save for a small car-park and a neatly ordered terminal building that allows for the smooth movement of passengers. There are a number of convenient transport routes that lead to and from the harbour. The major city of Vigo, the largest settlement in Portevedra, is just over half an hour east along the AG-57 dual-carriageway; a route that is regularly traversed by buses. A taxi rank can also be found directly outside the entrance to the pier, offering journeys deeper into the historic town centre. Two services currently operate from the Baiona, with both Naviera Nabia and Mar de Ons ferries sailing the short journey north to the craggy shores of the Cies Islands a number of times throughout the day.
