1Ons Island, Galicia
Just a short boat ride from Pontevedra, Ons Island is another hidden jewel of Galicia’s Atlantic Islands National Park. Less famous than the Cíes, it offers the same kind of natural beauty but with even fewer crowds. The island features dramatic cliffs, hidden caves, and walking trails with panoramic sea views.
Its beaches—such as Playa de Melide—are wild and uncrowded, while the small village offers a glimpse into traditional Galician fishing culture. For foodies, Ons is known for its pulpo a la feria (Galician-style octopus), served fresh in local taverns.
Why visit? Ons Island combines natural wonders with authentic cultural touches, offering a tranquil yet immersive Galician island experience.
