Merci Irène et José de nous avoir fait découvrir ce bout d'Espagne, loin des circuits traditionnels, mais au combien authentique et apaisant. Nous avons aimé votre appartement, avec une vue magnifique sur le port, la baie et Vigo. Nous avons aimé partagé le quotidien des habitants de Cangas, boire un verre, manger des tapas, aller au marché aux poissons, déguster la cuisne Galicienne. Bref nous avons adoré cet échange.

We enjoyed our stay in Irene and Jose's elegant flat on the front in the port area of Cangas which was well prepared for us and had amazing views. As they were not able to come to us, Irene was able to welcome us at the beginning of the swap. There are many places to visit and walk and a great many lovely beaches. Cangas is a traditional Spanish fishing town with a large harbour. In the shops and cafes English was limited but we could mostly make ourselves understood with a little simple Spanish. There is a large fish and vegetable market, and a big street market once a week also in neighbouring towns on different days. There are lots of food and other types of shops not far from the flat. There is a ferry opposite the flat to the large town of Vigo opposite and out to the beautiful islands until mid September. Parking is on the front in the port area, we managed to find a space somewhere each day although you could easily have a holiday here without a car by using the ferry and buses. If the weather is very hot as it was when we were there, and the windows have to be open at night, you will need to keep Spanish time - late bedtimes as the Spanish stay up late! Thank you Irene and Jose.

Thanks to Irene and Jose for a great exchange in their lovely apartment in the centre of town. We really liked exploring the area. It has beautiful beaches and friendly people. We had very enjoyable trips to Vigo, Isles de Cies and Pontevedra.

We had a lovely stay with our 7 year old. Jose and Irene were generous and even shared their friends- who gave us some lovely moments to remember. The apartment was clean, beautiful, full of good books to read. Everything was as they said and there was plenty of info in files to research the locality. There were great beaches and restaurants and places to visit. We recommend this home and people. Many thanks Irene and Jose and Homelink, as this was our first, and very successful, swap.

This was the second stage of a non-simultaneous exchange, and we were pleased to renew our acquaintance with Irene and Jose when they welcomed us with a delicious Galician lunch before leaving us to settle into their comfortable apartment in the lively port of Cangas. We enjoyed the wonderful views and watching the world go by from their living room overlooking the harbour, but there is plenty to explore, from the beautiful coastline and beaches to historic towns and villages. The apartment was very convenient for shops, bars and restaurants and public transport and Irene and Jose left us with ample information on the best places to visit. We would highly recommend this exchange for an opportunity to get to know this beautiful and relatively unknown corner of Spain. Thanks you Irene and Jose!

Cangas is a genuine working town with a welcoming environment, and not at all affected by tourism. In our visit (7 days) we didn't have to use our vehicle at all, and walked, cycled and used the ferry. Lots of good bars and restaurants. The apartment is very convenient, with coffee shops and bars very close. Although it's located on the seafront, we found no noise issues with traffic, and we would recommend this exchange.
