Cabo Home & Costa da Vela
Cabo Home
A wild headland at the western tip of the Morrazo Peninsula, with three lighthouses, cliffs and natural beaches facing the Cíes Islands across a strait. A prime sunset spot.
Cabo Home lies on the north shore of Vigo Bay in Cangas. It forms the tip of the Morrazo Peninsula, which juts into the Atlantic, and is separated from the Cíes Islands by only a strait. Three lighthouses stand here (Home, Robaleira and Subidor), and trails trace the granite sea cliffs. Routes lead to natural beaches on the Costa da Vela, such as Barra and Nerinha, and to viewpoints over ancient Celtic ritual sites. The sun sets toward the Cíes Islands, making for superb sunsets. The ferry from Vigo to Cangas takes about 20 minutes, and from there it's about 25 minutes by car. Winds on the cliffs can be strong, so take care.
