Have you already booked your beach cabins in Galicia to enjoy your next vacation in the Ría de Vigo estuary? Great! But it cannot be all about rest, it is also about discovering incredible places. We tell you some of the best things to see in Cangas do Morrazo.

The urban center

The historic center of Cangas do Morrazo is a must-see if you are in the area. The alleys of the Outeiro neighborhood are the perfect place to get lost and enjoy its cobbled streets.

If you continue wandering through the streets you will be able to discover countless Casas de Patín, the traditional fishermen’s houses. They are all over the urban area and many of them now house administrative offices.

And to locate the limits of Cangas, visit the crosses located in all its cardinal points. Pointing north is the Cruceiro das Andes, to the east you will find the Cruceiro do Señal, to the west is the Cruceiro de Síngulis and to the southwest are the Cruceiro da Capela de San Roque and the Cruceiro de Massó.

Massó canning factory

The Massó Canning Factory was one of the largest fish canneries on the European continent at the time. It was built between 1937 and 1941 and was the first reinforced concrete building in Galicia, although it is now abandoned.

Costa da Vela

If you have booked your beach cabins in Galicia, one of the places that you cannot miss in Cangas is Costa da Vela. It is the westernmost point of the Morrazo peninsula and a virgin area where the sea and the pine trees take over the landscape.

The beaches of Costa da Vela have come to be compared to those of the Caribbean, due to the beauty of its crystal clear waters and the nature that surrounds them.

The best way to get to know this place is on foot, taking one of the many hiking routes available, such as Senda costera de Areamilla or Sendero Azul.

Keep the recommendations in mind. When you settle into your cabins surrounded by nature in Galicia, get to work and organize a visit to Cangas do Morrazo. You will love it!
