Cultural highlights are above all the numerous music events such as concerts or festivals, which often take place in public squares and give an insight into the local culture.
For culinary specialities, a visit to the weekly market on Saturday mornings is recommended - here you can sample fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmers as well as delicious regional specialities such as smoked fish or homemade jams.
The best outdoor activities are especially offered in spring - walks through flowering fields or bike rides along the coast are particularly popular with tourists. In summer you can also go swimming or try water sports.
If it rains, it is worth visiting the local museum or a church to learn more about the history of Rieps. A visit to the cinema or a cosy café can also be a good option.
