Praia de Aguieira unfurls along the Ría de Muros e Noia like a golden ribbon, a testament to Galicia's understated coastal beauty. Here, the Atlantic's raw power is softened, replaced by the gentle ebb and flow of an estuary, making for an exceptionally calm swimming experience. The sand, a fine, pale ochre, stretches for kilometers, providing ample space for sunbathers to spread out and children to build elaborate sandcastles.
