Built on the rugged hills of the Morazzo peninsula in the Galicia region of northern Spain is the port town of Bueu. There are a number of daily sailings departing from the terminal to Ons Island. These are operated by both Naviera Nabia and Mar de Ons, with journeys taking between forty and forty five minutes.
What will I find in Bueu?
It’s a town shaped by a grid of downtown streets that line the cliff-faced coast and rise towards the steep climbs of the countryside where they become twisting residential lanes. The tree-lined seafront is a popular destination in summer due to its warm climate and the sandy beaches that edge the blue-watered bay, with Tulla and Portomaior Beaches proving extremely for relaxing, water sports and fishing. Away from the seafront there is some wonderful architecture to admire as well as the intriguing Masso Musuem which is well worth a visit.
What’s the transport network like?
The main road into Bueu is the PO-551 highway that follows the coastline of the peninsula towards the city of Pontevedra in the north-east. It’s a route that is regularly traversed by the coaches that leave from stops outside the port, taking passengers to various points throughout the city including the train-station that links the peninsula to regions further inland.
What services are on offer?
Currently two passenger lines run from the port of Bueu. Both Naviera Nabia and Mar de Ons ferries leave the sea-facing mouth of the Ria de Pontevedra estuary multiple times throughout the day before heading the short distance east to Ons Island. The journeys with both operators take under an hour to complete.
