Initially, our route will take us through the Vigo estuary, where we will glide past prominent landmarks like San Martiño, Montefaro, and Monteagudo, which comprise the notable Cíes Islands. Although we won't dock at this archipelago, take a moment to admire the renowned Rodas beach from the ferry.
