Baiona, Spain

Baiona Spain

Baiona is a town 20 km south of Vigo. Its old quarter was declared an Area of Historical and Artistic Interest by the Galician Regional Government on 1 March 1993, to mark the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the Pinta, a caravel‑type vessel used by Christopher Columbus, which reached Baiona with news of the discovery of America. The municipality is made up of five parishes: Baíña, Belesar, Baredo, Santa Cristina da Ramallosa and Baiona, each with its own identity, all playing a vital role in what Baiona has to offer.
