A fortified Atlantic town in Pontevedra where a medieval castle-turned-parador guards the bay, a 15-metre stone Virgin watches from the hillside, and two local sailors once completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth.
A fishing village on the Galician coast, just 7 km from Pontevedra, whose old quarter, dense with stone granaries, wayside crosses, and a parish church, is protected as both a Historic Site and a Cultural Interest Site.
