Essential
Pontevedra
Pontevedra’s historic city centre, featuring great beauty and unknown to the great majority. We suggest strolling around its old town and visiting the outdoor cafés in its squares. To get the most out of your visit, pick up a map and rent an audio-guide in the municipal tourist office. Following the road along the coast towards Sanxenxo, stop briefly to visit the Monastery of Poio and its large “horreo” (stone granary), then continue on to Sanxenxo. Well signposted.


A must
Sanxenxo - Portonovo Villages
Not much to do except walking along its promenade, visiting the marina, its shops and enjoying what is inappropriately called the Galician “Marbella.” Portonovo is famous for its “raya en caldeirada” (ray fish dish).

Feel
Playa de A Lanzada (beach)
the sea breeze and waves at the beach of A Lanzada: explore the isthmus of A Lanzada. Visit one of Galicia’s most emblematic beaches due to its wooden walkway. An enormous car park where you can leave your car

Recommended
O Grove - Isla de la Toja
O Grove - Isla de la Toja. A pleasant walk around the island of La Toja. There are numerous options for sailing around the “ria” in a catamaran, with tasting of mussels and Albariño wine.
