Nestled on the rugged Atlantic coast of Galicia, Baiona is a charming seaside town known for its rich maritime history, beautiful beaches, and delicious seafood. With its narrow cobblestone streets, medieval fortifications, and picturesque harbor, it offers the perfect blend of history, relaxation, and local flavor.

A Brief Look at the Past

Baiona first made its mark in history in 1493, when it became the first European port to hear news of Columbus's discovery of America, thanks to the arrival of the caravel Pinta. The town’s impressive medieval walls and the Monterreal Fortress are lasting reminders of its strategic importance and storied past.
