"A wooden bench and one of the most impressive views in Galicia are enough to make you feel the world at your feet. Located on top of a hill in Cedeira, in the municipality of Redondela, the viewpoint offers visitors an authentic excursion around the islands without leaving the site. A landscape worthy of being the muse of the best of poets.
It all began in 2015, with the installation of a wooden bench by a local resident. At the top of the hill, between forest and rocks, there was no object that would allow the contemplation of one of the most beautiful landscapes that can be seen in Galicia. At first, the new human construction caused surprise, but locals and visitors quickly realized the relevance and ingenuity of the craftsman, regretting only that they had not been the ones responsible for this incredible feat. Sculpted with love and care, the simplicity of the work rivals the nobility of the view it boasts. With the Rías Baixas at your feet, you can observe, admire and feel the essence of the Galician waters, dive into their crystal blue, and return to the land with a renewed soul.
Located in the Pontevedra municipality of Redondela, the Campo da Rata viewpoint is now in close ‘competition’ with the Coruñes viewpoint of Ortigueira for the title of best bench in the world. While one offers the possibility of sailing from the Cíes Islands to the San Simón cove, the other allows you to admire the views from Cabo de Estaca de Bares to Cabo Ortegal. Either way, each in its own way is worth visiting for Galicians and foreigners who are passionate about the Breogán nation.
Nowadays, demand is so high that there are queues: many are eager to get a new profile picture to update their social networks; many others simply want to admire the natural spectacle that surrounds them. Therefore, taking into account the potential ‘traffic’ of visitors, it is advisable to go as early as possible on summer days. It is also important that the desire to visit such a famous place does not come across as a lack of civility. If you are going to record the moment with your camera, do so, but avoid taking the whole afternoon. Conversely, if your intention is to write notes of homage to the painting, which is right in front of you, then it is better to choose a time less conducive to the daydreams of holidaymakers."
