A wonderful day trip well worth the drive! Take a ferry from Cangas near Vigo (about 1hr 45 mins drive) to the beautiful Islas Cies national park. The island is criss crossed with gorgeous hiking trails that are very underused even in the height of the season.

An observatory on the top of the highest mountain of the Sierra de Barbanza. On a clear day you can see north to Fisterre, (Finistiera) and south to Pontevedra and get a first hand look at the lay of the land and all of the rias.
You will certainly drive past wild horses on your way up. At the top is a small cafe restaurant. Not overly touristy.
