The Rías Baixas not only possess a rich cultural and ethnographic heritage; its contemporary architecture stands out and is a national reference of great creative appeal.

The Monastery of Santa María de Armenteira is a jewel from the 12th-13th centuries that today is practically intact and enchants visitors with its majesty. Not to be missed.

Perhaps you didn't know it, but the Rías Baixas make up the group with the greatest movement of gastronomic tourism in Galicia. And all this is largely due to the quality of its produce. The Atlantic Ocean offers numerous quality products and from it we extract our famous fish and seafood, so internationally renowned.

As Rías Baixas are a vast garden of camellias that thrive in autumn, winter and spring, and can be seen in streets, squares, gardens, pazos (Galician manor houses), castles and monasteries... We can proudly say that these wonderful camellias are truly part of our history and culture, and that they are ornamental trees whose beauty surprises those who see them. Native to the East, they first arrived in the province of Pontevedra from Portugal in the 17th century and have adapted extremely well to the environmental conditions of As Rías Baixas: acidic, well-drained and slightly humid soils. There are about 80 species and 30,000 varieties of camellias having different sizes, shapes and colours of petals and leaves. We invite you to admire these delicate flowers and discover this beauty that is so inspiring and magical.

The Way of Saint James is, without a doubt, the oldest, most frequented and best-known route in Europe. It is a symbol, and its fame has been built not only on its large number of routes, but on its spiritual and adventurous nature, which brings together pilgrims, travellers and globetrotters under a single mission: to reach the town of Santiago de Compostela.
