Atlantic Islands of Galicia
By Linda Tancs
Comprising the archipelagos of Cíes, Ons and Cortegada (in Pontevedra) and of Sálvora (in A Coruña), the Atlantic Islands of Galicia Maritime-Terrestrial National Park in Spain is a paradise in any season. This time of year, wintering waterbirds are still present in the area, and species like the barn swallow start to arrive to nest in Galicia. If you’re really lucky, you’ll see european shags (a type of cormorant) nesting on steep cliffs and coastal caves. Be sure to check entry requirements for the archipelago of your choice; some, like Cíes, limit the number of visitors each day to protect the biodiversity of this area.
