Discover beautiful spots with a seafaring tradition and a wide range of nautical activities.

The coastline of As Rías Baixas has a seafaring essence. Its traditions, legends and even its popular architecture are closely linked to fishing and the canning industry, which occupied most of its population for centuries. This close link with work in the sea has marked the development of the coastal towns of Pontevedra, which today have become tourist destinations of reference thanks to their traditional gastronomy, their impressive landscapes and their capacity to reinvent themselves while maintaining their customs and the port as the axis of their economic and social life.

The seaside towns located in the interior of the three Rías and on the Atlantic coast have managed to preserve an important cultural and ethnographic legacy, essential to know where we come from and what we are like. But today they also offer a wide range of nautical activities and experiences to immerse us fully in their history, always linked to the sea. There are many small jewels dotted along the coastline of Pontevedra: museums, interpretation centres, cetareas and restored schooners will reveal to the visitor the exciting history of this land.
