Parque Nacional Marítimo Terrestre de las Islas Atlánticas de Galicia
The Galician Atlantic Islands National Park comprises the archipelagos of Cíes, Ons, Sálvora and Cortegada.
The Cíes Islands are a true natural paradise, declared the best beach in the world by newspaper The Guardian. They have calm crystal-clear water, fine golden sand, a half-moon shape and a pine forest that protects the beach and tempts visitors to take a nap. A must-see in Ons are the furnas, i.e. a series of sea caves in granite where the sea unleashes its fury. It is the only inhabited island of the National Park. Cortegada contains the largest bay tree forest of Europe.
All of the islands have a wealth of biological diversity and reserves for breeding seabirds.
