Information booth in the Cíes archipelago
The information booth in the Cíes archipelago is located 100 metres from the Cíes Passenger Pier, on the island of Monteagudo. You can receive information about the National Park, both in terms of services and possible activities on the islands such as routes, activities, accessibility support elements, loaned guidebooks and informative material, handling of lost objects, etc. The main objective is to inform visitors about how to make the most of their visit to the Cíes islands. This service is available during peak maritime transport season.
Caseta de Información do Arquipélago de Cíes
Cies Islands Visitor Centre
It is situated 1.2 km from the Rhodes pier on the island of Faro. Inaugurated as an Interpretation Centre in 1997, the Centre is housed inside an old 19th century artillery warehouse erected on the ruins of the Santo Estevo Monastery that dates back to the 11th century. One can still see the remains of the foundation, some items that were part of the building cornices and an anthropomorphic tomb.
The Centre currently has an information point for visitors, an interpretation-exhibition room, an area for children's workshop, and a multipurpose room for projections, courses, conferences and group activities that are either programmed by the park staff or available upon request. It is open during Easter and the summer season.
