Las Islas Cíes and surfing

     I went to one of the most beautiful places, located off the coast of Vigo during my third day (and first Saturday) in Vigo. A girl from Argentina posted on the Facebook group for international students that she was going to the Cíees Islands and wanted to know if anyone else wanted to go.  Because it was only my third day in Vigo, I left my house one hour and a half before the boat left to allow myself time to get lost... I took a bus to the port area and went to the cruise ship entrance to ask someone where I should go in order to buy tickets to go to the islands. The Guardia Civil then joked with his friends and asked me "quieres ir a las Cíees conmigo" He was obviously joking but it was still funny. I took the ferry to las islas Cíees with people from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Spain and Germany.

    We spent the day hiking around the beautiful island and enjoying some coffees while waiting for the ferry to take us back to Vigo. We hiked to two lighthouses, relaxed on the beach and had long talks on the rocks near the ocean. I am so thankful for that trip because I often hang out with the friends I made on that trip.
