Once you’ve strolled down to Castiñeiras beach (10 minutes’ walk), you may well not make it much further for the rest of your holiday. Should you want to survey more of the area’s beaches, try the 20-minute walk/10-minute bike ride to Praia Area Brava or head further out towards the less-visited end of the peninsula and Praia Estrepeiros (five minutes’ drive) and Praia do Couso (10 minutes). On the other side of the peninsula, Nerga beach (10 minutes) is worth a trip too. Cangas (15 minutes) has more beaches, and it’s also a hub for various activities including canyoning. Meanwhile, for watersports like sea kayaking and scuba diving, head to Bueu (20 minutes). For a change of scenery, head around to Vigo (35 minutes), to stroll through the Old Town, visit the MARCO de Vigo contemporary art museum and climb to Monte O Castro for stunning views over the town, the sea and the surrounding area. It’s also the place to board ferries to the Cíes islands.
