With the Cíes Islands and the city of Vigo as a backdrop, a holiday stay in Cangas is your gateway to discovering the wonders of the Rías Baixas.

Cangas is a beautiful town in Pontevedra in the heart of the Rías Baixas. Just off the coast are the Cies Islands, an archipelago bathed by the waters of the Atlantic that boasts unparalleled natural beauty. Stunning beaches, crystal-clear water, and hiking trails that take you into an unspoilt environment are some of the attractions that await you along its shores. Thanks to our Cheap Cangas getaways you will be closer to discovering these amazing islands. Just take a ferry from the town.

Those who might think that Cangas is just a starting point to visit the islands, Vigo or the Rías Baixas region in general will be pleasantly surprised to discover that its streets hide real treasures. Walk through the old town centre, where the main focal point is the ex-Collegiate Church of Santiago de Cangas, with its beautiful Renaissance facade, one of the finest in Galicia. It stands next to the Rúa Real, an avenue full of elegant mansions. If you want to immerse yourself in the real character of Galicia, do not forget to visit the food market, where you will discover the delights of the region's fine cuisine.

Book a Cangas holiday package and come to the O Hío monumental complex, nestled on a pretty hill overlooking the Aldán estuary and where you can admire the impressive cruceiro, or stone crucifix, the Church of San Andrés and the Rectory House. Round off your stay by having a swim in the Atlantic – the Rodeira beach is the favourite among the locals.

"Large hotel by the convention center, not a good location, dirty area and kind of sketchy. About 20 minutes from old town walking, parking is paid. Saw people having drugs by the entrance of the lobby. Vigo's old town is in bad shape, many buildings are deteriorated."
