Hello!
Walking my first Camino in June 2024. Planning on taking a rest day in either Baiona or Vigo, and using that rest day to go to Cies Islands. I'd rather stay in Baiona for my rest day, but I'll walk on to Vigo then take a rest day if it means I can guarantee the ferry to Cies.
I'm having difficulty finding out if there actually IS a ferry from Baiona to Cies. The general English internet says that you can do it, but the three ferry companies linked on the Islas Cies website here do not seem to have Baiona as a port of departure. This is so, even though the Islas Cies website itself says "The ports with regular departures in season are: Baiona, Cangas, Vigo and also, occasionally, from Sanxenxo and Portonovo."
Is this just because I'm browsing in the off-season/winter? Maybe they update their websites to show Baiona as a port of departure when spring rolls around?
Has anyone in 2023 actually taken the ferry from Baiona to Cies in summer high season? What times did the ferry run to and from Cies, if you did?
With thanks, buen Camino!
