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 March 1, 1993, to mark the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the Pinta, a caravel-type vessel used by Christopher Columbus that 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 of them playing a vital role in what Baiona has to offer.
