Must-Sees from the Editors of
Travel + Leisure

Cíes Islands
If you’re a fan of scenic green mountains and unspoiled white beaches, the hour-long ferry trip to this nature reserve off the coast of Vigo is worth the detour. Bird-watchers should keep an eye out for the yellow-footed gulls that nest here.

Castro Park
There are various scenic lookouts along the winding hiking and biking trails of this center-city green space. For the best views of Vigo and the Cíes Islands, head to the hilltop remains of a 17th-century fort.

MARCO
This art institution opened in a former jail and courthouse in 2002, making it one of Galicia’s youngest and most innovative museums. MARCO specializes in interactive exhibits of contemporary art in a variety of mediums ranging from painting and architecture to music and video.
