Definitely, find half a day to visit it. Have a walk (following any of the routes perfectly drawn) once you arrive. After that, enjoy the beach. Chill out. More

I won't talk about high prices or problems with the boats. My critic is only about the Islands. Shame on me, it took me more than 30 years to get there, and believe, I don't come from very far... This is one the most beautiful natural places in Europe. The beaches are simply wonderful, the water is clean (cold, yes,... More

The island is a wonderful place to get away from busy life, really peaceful and quiet. I believe there's nothing more relaxing than lying on white, soft beach. The water here is pure, cool. Local seafood is delicious, and tasteful. This place should be a ' must to visit ' in you trip list. Highly recommend to you. More

Local tourism advertising does not let you forget that the Playa de Rodas on the Cíes island was called by someone "one of the best beaches in the world" and even though it is more likely to be one of the best beaches in Spain (which is pretty impressive too) it makes a very good full day or weekend visit...

If the weather holds, this place is paradise. The sands are incredibly soft and if yoj care to hike, the vistas are well worth the climbs. No hotels keep the crowds down and you can achieve plenty with a day trip. More

Trip made in August 2008. After searching a lot for information about certains details that a trip to the Islas Cíes demand, I decided it was time to tell my experience of those holidays in order to call out the attention to anyone that is planning to go there. This is a natural resort island in which you cannot take... More
