From Tomiño we continued to Cangas, a small coastal town on the Ría de Vigo. Arriving with the motorhome, I immediately felt the maritime atmosphere: harbour, boats, and fresh sea air.

We spent much time at the harbour. We walked along the promenade, watched the fishing boats return, and enjoyed the calm rhythm of daily life. For Zuky, the sea smells were especially exciting.

The next day we went up to the viewpoint above the town. The climb was a bit demanding, but the reward was a breathtaking view over the Ría, the town, and the Cíes Islands. We stood there for a while, enjoying the silence.

Cangas charmed us with its mix of lively seafaring life and quiet moments in nature. Such places remind me how central life on the Costa Blanca is – from there, it’s easy to reach Spain’s many treasures.
