Experience the beautiful and impressive views of the valley, the mountains, the ocean, and the Mino river, flowing out to the sea.

Bayona’s harbor and fishing fleet make it one of the most important coastal towns in Galicia. This is the village where the caravel Pinta arrived after Columbus’s first trip to America.
