One of the posibilities of spend your holydays in Camping Limens is practise seakayaking...but another one is enjoying the beatifull beaches nearby.

I  like to get up early in the morning and star running with my Sea walk paddle. Is very light so I almost  do not notice his weight. 

From Limens beach to Nerga Beach, whereas I´m practising sport my senses enjoy with the beatifull landscapes...Is 7:00  AM  and Barra beach is desert so I continue running along  Subrido cape to Home Cape...the views are breathtaking...on the background Cies Island...After 1 hour and 30 minutes running it takes time to Seawalk in Barra Beach...one of the most beatifull beaches I´ve ever seen. 1 hour of Seawalk in the not too cold waters in enough to raise my mind and spirit.

A good wake up, prepairing for Sea kayaking in the Base KDM Islas Cies y Aldan.

Una de las posibilidades de pasar tus vacaciones en el Camping Limens es practicar kayak de mar... pero otra es disfrutar las preciosas playas de sus alrededores.

Me gusta levantarme por la mañana temprano y comenzar a correr con mi pala de  Sea walk paddle, es muy ligera y casi ni noto su peso.

desde la playa de Limens hasta la de Nerga, al tiempo que práctico deporte, mis sentidos disfrutan de los preciosos paisajes.. Son las 7:00 A.M y la playa de Barra esta desierta, así que continuo corriendo hasta punta Subrido y Cabo Home ...las vistas quitan las respiración, de telón de fondo, las Islas Cies.

Después de hora y media corriendo llego de nuevo a Barra, una de las playas más bonitas que he visto nunca.  Una hora de Seawalk en unas aguas no tan frias, es suficiente para despejar mi mente y levantar mi espíritu.

Un buen despertar, preparándonos para el kayak de mar en  Base KDM Islas Cies y Aldan.

Towing a Xtra Tiderace to Cies Island

Una de las maravillas de navegar en kayak por la ría de Vigo, es que el frecuente el avistamiento de cetáceos.  Unos momentos que son mágicos, en especial cuando navegas en solitario,  respetando la normativa para evitar acosarlos, uno deja su pala sobre la cubierta del kayak, y se dedica de forma exclusiva a contemplar  sus evoluciones en el agua, y escuchar su respiración, el ensimismamiento es tal que el tiempo transcurre sin apenas darte cuenta.  Los diversos avistamientos que he tenido a lo largo de los años, suelen ocurrir o durante las primeras horas de la mañana o al atardecer, y sobra decir que para poder presenciarlos es necesario que las aguas esten lo más tranquilas posibles, puesto que un leve rizamiento producido por el viento, hace casi imposible el poder distinguir entre las olas sus aletas emergiendo.
Estos avistamientos, no pueden asegurarse en las rutas guiadas en kayak desde las Base KDM de Aldán, Base KDM Islas Cies o Cangas, pero son la guinda en el caso de los grupos más afortunados.

Seakayaking is one of the most beatiful sports you can practise! For me is a life style , feeling free in contact with nature...One of the most thrilling things is a encounter with cetaceans...in my personal case I have had several of them, soon in the morning or   later in the afternoon. You must be cautious in order to don´t disturb their way through the water.  In those moments, I like to rest my paddle on my deck and watch them playing and swimming...

We can not guarante you this experience, because they are impredictable and you need flatwater to be able to see them. If you want to try fortune or practise kayaking,  here you have guided tours in a seakayak Base KDM de Aldán, Base KDM Islas Cies

I woke up early in the morning...my aim was to paddle from Liméns Beach (Limens Campsite) to Cies Islands. Firstly I paddled close to the coast until arriving Subrido cape, where I had a nice experience with a group of dolphins, I enjoyed watching them playing and swimming, but I had to continue on my way.  Once I made the crossing, I headed to the north and then I confront the bow of my kayak with the waves...The west side of the island is rough in contrast with the beatiful beaches on the east side.
