Playa de Rodas, Cíes Islands: this paradise does deserve a legacy do Tibu
If you live in Galicia and you don't live in a nuclear shelter, you know what we are talking about. But be careful, because the chain is flooding the internet with videos of people bathing and nominating their friends (or enemies) from all over the peninsula. You may be next, so take note:
1. FOR COLD PEOPLE
If you are a bit of a trampulleiro (cheater) skip the cold water rule and opt for the Chavasqueira pools in Ourense . Wonderful hot water to minimize the environmental impact that will make you bless hydrotherapy, virals, Tibu and even the friend who nominated you.
The water flows at about 40º in the Chavasqueira hot springs
two. FOR SURFERS
If you are a surfer you will not see any mystery to the challenge; you already bathe regularly at freezing temperatures without the need for anyone to challenge you. This time do it with a camera in front of you catching **waves in Razo (Carballo), Pantín (Valdoviño) or Doniños (Ferrol)**, but to make it a little funny, take off your wetsuit and make several parts of your body hard as hooks .
For surfers, nothing better than a crowd bath in Valdoviño
3. FOR SUICIDES
You have repeated until exhaustion that Rhodes is the best beach in the world. Remember it now that you have been nominated and dare to travel to the Cíes to splash between screams in its waters, crystalline, limpid, sparkling on the white sand and everything you want, yes, but icy at levels cut-circulation in-feet.

Four. FOR THOSE CAREFUL WITH THEIR HEALTH
While doing the challenge, do you want to hydrate your skin or improve your rheumatic conditions? You are in the right place. In Galicia there are hot springs for all tastes, affections and budgets. As viral is not at odds with classy and elegant, try to continue feeding the chain with old-school winks like a turn-of-the-century bather (costume suggestion) at the La Toja or Mondariz spas.
First of all: spas and body care
5. FOR TRADITIONAL
Splash a little in the fountain Platerias square in Santiago , next to the cathedral. So you marry next-gen virals with a college tradition for newcomers to student life that spread almost as fast as Tibu back in the days when no one could record you showing off your anatomy to the world. We will not be the ones to suggest immerse yourself entirely in the fountain to look for the hind legs of the horses.

6. FOR FOODIES
If you want to splurge on class, choose to soak yourself like a gentleman or lady in the swimming pool of the Hotel Nagari. Some of the best views of Vigo and its estuary and a part with a glass roof so that, if it rains (there is a very small, almost tiny probability that you are in Galicia and it rains), the envy that you fulfill with your challenge is even greater.

7. FOR NUDISTS
We already see the resulting video: a swift stripping of clothes among the pine forests, some jumps among the soft dunes while the following victims are nominated and a little ball run through the sand until diving into the sea. On the wonderful beach of Barra, in Cangas, where else?

8. FOR LOVERS OF THE WILD
If you want to offer your friends, in addition to close-ups of your soaking anatomy, an almost intact place , come mobile at the ready to some of the numerous natural pools that the rivers draw on the map of Galicia. There are many to explore with different accessibility difficulties and conditions, but if you want to start on the safe side, opt for the Cerves river (in Melón), the Pedras pools (A Pobra do Caramiñal) or those of Cabanelas (Cotobade). Be careful when jumping, the bottom is rocky.
9. FOR THE FEARFUL
If you don't know how to swim or you are afraid of the current, you are not destined to record your Tibu legacy in a swimming pool or a car wash . Flee from architectural realism and put your eyes on the very safe natural pool that forms the high tide behind the breakwater of the beach of To Rapadoira, in Foz. Kid friendly, perfect for you.
10. FOR CROWD LOVERS
If the virus arrives alive on the night of San Juan, Riazor beach, in Coruña , one of the recurring ones in the videos, promises to be a hive of Tibu's legacy. We predict sardines, bonfires, party to esgalla (to the beast, go) and the chain growing until there is no one left in the Coru without being nominated, baby.
