Replica of the Caravel La Pinta

Just outside Vigo in Baiona, this full-scale floating replica of Columbus's Pinta lets you actually climb aboard and handle the rigging, ropes, and cannons rather than just staring at exhibits behind glass. It's surprisingly hands-on — you get a real feel for how cramped and intense a 15th-century transatlantic voyage actually was. A genuinely unique piece of maritime history that's hard to find anywhere else in Spain.
