Islas Cíes: the best beach in the World?
The Islas CÍes was named by The Guardian “Top 1 of 10 beaches in the World”. We set sail from Muros towards the CÍes Islands to see for ourselves if this beach lives up to the title.
The sail there is gorgeous: 22 knots of downwind, a smooth ride that only gets better when a pod of dolphins comes by to greet us and play at Polar Seal’s bow.
At this point, Ryan is still recovering from his two weeks of business trips, and feels tired all the way down there.
The next day, we inflate the dinghy and leave Polar Seal for an excursion on the trails of Isla do Faro, and climb up the top at Faro de Cìes. We then go down to spend the day at the beach, where Sophie runs straight to dive in the water, only to find out that it is quite cold.
Leaving Cìes means leaving Galicia, which makes us a bit sad. Galicia is a gem of a region, and we cannot believe that we didn’t know about it before we made landfall from crossing Biscay. The landscapes are incredible, the people absolutely lovely and the food unbelievably good and affordable.
