The estuary of Lires

This beautiful estuary is located between Cape Touriñán and Cape Fisterra and is part of the Community Interest Site Costa da Morte Natura 2000 Network thanks to its priceless ecological value. It is a place of passage for many seabirds of great interest and a set of flora and fauna ideal to connect with nature in its maximum splendor; an essential stop when you go to Cee.

The beaches

In Cee, there is a great offer of beaches for every traveler. It has the beach of Gures, which frames a wonderful natural landscape combining sea and sand with pine trees that invite to an impromptu picnic. This beach is very secluded and very nice, making it very popular in the summer.

If you are looking for a less hidden option, you can visit the Concha, an urban beach located in the center, next to the beautiful promenade. It is a very easily accessible alternative with all the urban amenities around it.

The remains of medieval architecture

This town has signs of being inhabited since ancient times. If we go back to the 12th century, Cee was a small village dedicated to working its land. Medieval remains can be found in the Church of Toba in Romanesque style (12th century) and also in the Church of Cee, which preserves 15th-century architecture in the upper chapel.

The mills of Toba

This curious set of watermills is another trace of Cee's history. Located in a tame corner of the river das Laxes (also known as the river of Toba), it is a quiet place to enjoy nature. The site has stone tables for public use and fire pits to prepare outdoor meals.

Sunday Market

If you are looking for fresh raw materials, you can visit the Sunday Market in Cee. Every Sunday, local traders set up shop in the centre and offer a wide variety of fruit, vegetables, fish, and bread. You can even visit the Plaza de Abastos, which remains open on this day.

The Fernando Blanco Institute

Fernando Blanco de Lema was an important philanthropist who left a great cultural legacy in Cee. The institute that bears his name is a building of striking beauty with the style of the late 19th century. It is surrounded by a wonderful botanical garden that is perfect for a nice walk when the weather is nice.

The old Escola das Nenas

Since 2001, this building has housed the Permanent Exhibition of the Fernando Blanco Foundation. It highlights different objects that were part of the old physics, biology, and electricity cabinets, offering a clear vision of education in another era.
