Growth Coliving / Week 3 and 4. From hidden river beaches to medieval towns, open-air thermal spas, wine tasting in the Rías Baixas and a trip to the Cíes Islands, Galicia has so much to offer that one month won’t be enough. 🏖️ The Miño river banks hide many sandy beaches that you can explore by yourself or with the other colivers. 🏰 Melgaço, Ribadavia and Arbo are three small medieval towns I really loved: they’re full of history, tiny museums and daily life moments you won’t find online. ♨️ Prexigueiro thermal baths are just the perfect place to unwind after a day of work. I enjoyed a 90-minute session open air under the drizzle. To my surprise, the place was a bit busier than expected, but you can call ahead to ask for quieter times (I didn’t, unfortunately). 🍷 As Laxas bodega was founded in the 70s by Doña Carmen, a true pioneer, she was one of the first women to run a winery in Galicia. Still family-run, still rooted in the same land. The tour includes a visit to the facilities, an explanation of the production process and an incredible tasting of 3 wines paired with delicious local food. 🏝️ Ever heard about Cíes Islands? A stunning, uninhabited archipelago off the coast of Galicia. Famous for the crescent-shaped Playa de Rodas, frequently hailed as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. I went for a day trip but it’s possible to stay overnight at the campsite, which is the only accommodation available on the island. 🗺️ Growth Coliving organises regular days out, and colivers also self-organise trips together. For most self-guided activities you’ll need a car, but while there it was easy to share costs and coordinate with other colivers who drive. 🐢 Save this for your next slow travel trip to Galicia. #slowtravel #coliving #galicia
