Praia de Rodas on the Cíes Islands seen from the hillside above on a hazy summer day: a long arc of white sand joins two of the islands, with clear turquoise water dotted with anchored sailing and motor boats on the right and the shallow green lagoon on the left, a ferry is tied up at the landing pier at the far end of the beach below a rocky point, pine trees fill the foreground, and across the deep-blue mouth of the Ría de Vigo rise the hills of the Morrazo peninsula
