You won't want to leave without taking a walk through the well-preserved old quarter of Pontevedra, most of which has been pedestrianized. Visit Santa María la Mayor Basilica, a jewel of Gothic architecture, and La Virgen Peregrina Church, a chapel with a scallop-shaped floor plan and beautiful night lighting. Other highlights include Pontevedra Museum, whose collection is held in five different locations: Santo Domingo Monastery, Sarmiento Palace, and the Castro Monteagudo, García Flórez and Fernández López buildings.

A few kilometers from the city, the Rías Baixas region opens onto the Atlantic. You can enjoy fantastic sunsets in spots such as A Toxa Island, urban beaches like Silgar Beach in Sanxenxo, or vast areas of golden sand like A Lanzada Beach.

HOW TO GET THERE:

The Parador is located in the old quarter of the town, right in the heart of the Rías Baixas. Pontevedra is linked by motorway to the main provincial capitals of Galicia. It is 23 km from Vigo, 55 from Santiago de Compostela and 120 km from A Coruña.

Upon reaching Pontevedra from the A-9 motorway, the best exit to take is `Pontevedra Norte`. Then follow the signs towards `Puente de Burgo` (the only approach road to the Parador), and after passing a roundabout, you will come to a pedestrian street that leads to the Parador.
