We will sail one hour before sunset. A specialized guide, accredited by the Starlight Foundation, will explain the phenomenon of sunset and the reason for the different chromatic ranges.
Then we will anchor in the Cíes Islands to have dinner on board. Local gastronomy from the Galician estuaries will be offered with vegan options as well. After dinner, the guide will start explaining the different constellations and stars. This national park is accredited as a Starlight destination for its sky quality and low light pollution.
