My wife and I have visited Vigo on a number of occasions and finally managed to visit the Cies Islands this summer and we are glad we did. The boat trip there is fantastic but when you reach the islands you are in for an even bigger treat. Lovely beaches, great walks and views from the cliff tops and also feeling very close to nature and the power of the sea as the Atlantic Ocean crashes into the islands on the west coast. Our only mistake was that we did book a later ferry for our return journey and we would have liked to stay longer and explore the islands further.

5. Iglesia de la Virgen Peregrina

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom
Built in 1778, its location is such that it is externally one of the most impressive churches in Pontevedra, facing onto the Pza da Peregrina. A stopping point for pilgrims who were having their documents stamped here, the church plan is in the shape of a scallop shell and the shells are incorporated into much of the decoration. Otherwise, compared to some of the other churches, the decoration is quite restrained, with your eyes drawn upwards into the dome, and thence to heaven.

The castro is located near the top of a mountain. It is an excellent example of an old celtc settlement and the views from the top of the mountain were great, including a view of A Guarda.

Yes, it's a beautiful vineyard and the renovation of the winery is sympathetically done, but you appreciate this so much more through a knowledgeable guide who speaks perfect English. A personalised tour for two hours flew by - this included 5 different albarino wines , cheeses and local ham. We learnt the history of the pazo, walked through the vineyards and camellias (mid February )and the modern winery. We were most of all impressed by the communication from Eugénie, given that we are wine professionals too, all info was relevant, well explained and all our questions answered.
