Pontevedra Highlights

Located in the south of Galicia, Pontevedra benefits from a warm climate and stunning natural scenery. From lazy beach days to cultural wonders, the region offers the best of both.

• The coastline is dramatic and picturesque. Stunning beaches and seaside resorts make holidays to Pontevedra extra magical. One of the region’s best beaches is La Playa de Lapaman, boasting a long white sand stretch and shallow warm waters.
• Like much of the Galician region, food plays a big part on Pontevedra life. From exquisite freshly caught seafood, such as scallops, oysters and mussels, to the catch of the day, the local cuisine is mouth-watering. Many coastal resorts are dotted with little fishing boats, which head out daily and serve the local restaurants.
• It is also easy to visit other areas of Galicia from Pontevedra. There is excellent bus and road routes to Santiago and Santander meaning visitors can enjoy great days out and a hassle free holiday in Pontevedra.
• The idyllic River Lerez runs through Pontevedra and on the south side sits the ancient old town. Here visitors can stroll through winding lanes, past historic churches and cosy cafes.
• The tiny Nazarene Chapel is well worth a visit as is the grand Teatro Principal. Parts of both date back to the medieval times. At night the old town comes alive with bars, music events and bustling family restaurants.
• In the summer months Pontevedra buzzes with atmosphere and dozens of festivals and events take place across the region. Foodies should visit in April when the famous gastronomic Fiesta of Oysters happens. Come July, the province-wide San Benito, or Saint’s Day festival sees traditional costumes, music and dancing across Pontevedra.
