Information
Baiona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the province of Vigo. Its lookout points reveal one of the reasons why: the Cíes Islands. This pristine natural paradise is home to "the most beautiful beach in the world", the Rodas Beach. The Cíes Islands are part of the National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia.
Ribeira Beach, Concheira Beach and Barbiera Beach will become some of your favourite sites , in addition to losing yourself in the medieval old town of Baiona, and heading up to the Virgen de la Roca lookout point.
Enjoy the tranquil surroundings in the Parador’s walled courtyard, relax in its elegant interior spaces, and extend the day with a glass of wine in the garden. Don't forget to book a table in one of our restaurants for the best local produce which includes, of course, fish and seafood.
Environment
The best beaches for bathing lie between the Parador peninsula and the Port of Baiona: Ribeira Beach, Concheria Beach and Barbiera Beach are the closest ones. After you’ve swum to your heart’s content, lose yourself in the old quarter of Baiona, a network of medieval streets that houses gems such as the Chapel of Santa Liberata or the former Coleiata de Santa María.
History states that the news of the discovery of America first reached the Port of Baiona with the arrival of the Pinta. You can view a replica of this vessel there. A mere 40 km away is Vigo, the largest city in Galicia and the heart of the Rías Baixas.
Cíes Islands: a natural paradise
The Cíes Islands are many centuries old. They’ve been a zone of transit since the Palaeolithic Age and human presence there dates to around 3500 BCE, although the first settlement dates back to the Bronze Age (between 500 and 100 BCE), as confirmed by remains found in As Hortas, a fortified settlement on the slopes of Monte Faro. Now you can embark upon a boat trip to discover for yourself all that was left to us by other cultures.

A bike ride through the city
An alternative proposal for leisure and sustainable tourism. A different way to connect with the environment that surrounds us. Riding a go-kart takes you back to a time when freedom was measured by the number of experiences you could have during an evening out with friends. Now you can visit any part of the city on go-karts, two-seater tricycles, balanzbikes and bicycles.

The term “Enxebre” is strongly linked to the traditional, the pure, the authentic Galician. In A Pinta you can taste, with a more informal concept and in a seafaring atmosphere, dishes such as octopus á feira (with potatoes and paprika), empanada del obrador (savoury pie), Galician cheeses, zamburiñas á grella (small scallops) or baked scallops. Through the cuisine you will get to know the essence of Galicia. During the summer it is open every day. The rest of the year it only opens on Saturdays for lunch and dinner and Sundays for lunch.
