There is an uninhabited island in Spain that you can visit and which has two impressive virgin beaches (pixeled on Google Maps).

You don’t need to leave Spain to discover authentic wonders (for example, we’ve already shown you places that take you to the USA). And Tambo Island, located in the middle of the Ría de Pontevedra in Galicia, is another example of this.

An uninhabited island that looks surprisingly pixelated on Google satellite images, but is worth visiting.

With the support of the Poio Council, Imanda de Illa de Tallo offers guided tours with restrictions. And this area was under the military jurisdiction of the Marín Naval School, and although it has been nearly demilitarized since 2022, it has enclosed spaces.

Visits are reduced in capacity and dates. They leave the port of A Canteira de Comparro at 10 am and return at 2 pm. In them, You can visit its healing forests, beaches, Tenlo lighthouse, monastic ruins, disused sanctuary and even its former barracks..

The island looks wild, it has almost no buildings, It has two impressive pristine beaches, Area da Illa and A Dreidáand stands out with its leaves.
