Three kilometres west of the Cabo do Home, the Islas Cies, islands of emerald forests, sapphire seas and platinum sand, seem to belong to the Carribean, They are so precious to Spain that only 2,200 visitors a day are allowed. The Guardian named its main beach the best in the world in 2007, but the slightly nudist Playa de Figueiras is the showstopper beach, voted by the Sunday Times one of Europe’s 50 best beaches.
There are hiking trails that take you to the summit at 200m. You can get there by booking a ferry in advance from Cangas or Vigo, but just looking at them from the Cabo do Home or Donon is still a memorable experience.
