The world of literature found in As Rías Baixas its perfect setting. The province of Pontevedra has been the cradle of illustrious writers, and the muse of so many others, who discovered in the beautiful landscapes an immense source of inspiration for their works. A land of lush forests, warm springs, peaceful backwaters, vertiginous rivers and powerful waves that break on a coastline of unique beauty.

From generation to generation, stories that have survived in memory through oral transmission, myths, legends and traditions that make some places, already spectacularly beautiful, acquire a special magic.
