Must see & do attractions

Isla de Cies:

These islands are situated in Vigo's estuary in Galicia. It exists out of 3 islands, Monte Agudo , o faro and San Martino.
The first 2 islands are connected by a long strip of sand called Rodas beach. This beach was voted best beach in the world by The Guardian.​
 The islands are a nature reserve and limited number of visitors are allowed to enter the islands on an annual basis.

Fiesta de Los Reyes:

Festival of the Three kings. Malaga has an amazing 3 kings parade around dusk every year on the  5th January where colourful floats
see the arrival of Melchor, Gazpar and Baltasar.

The floats are loaded with sweets, and believe us, you won't go home with empty hands. 

Frigiliana:

Frigiliana is a whitewashed village 6km North of Nerja which is very popular with tourists. But if you arrive early before the buses arrive, you get to discover a true gem where the white houses with their red slates are in stark contrast with the blue sky.
​A village where the views towards the coast are just fabulous.



Most spectacular walk

​El caminito Del Rey:

El caminito del rey is a walkway pinned to the walls of a steep gorge . It is not for the faint hearted, altough since extensive renovations took place between 2011 and 2015, the walkway has been made very safe.
in the past, it was known as the "worlds most dangerous walkway" due to the fact that 5 people fell to their death in 1999 and 2000.

​But don't worry, since an investement of 9 million euro, the walkway is open again to the public.

Must try dish

Pulpo a Gallega is Galicia's signature dish. The dish itself is paprika flavored octopus served mainly on a wooden plate.
