Why this destination is a must-visit
Cambados, where history and Albariño meet
Cambados, the jewel of the Rías Baixas, is far more than the Capital of Albariño. Its streets and hidden corners are filled with fascinating stories that captivate every traveller.
Did you know the town was born from the union of three rival villages? Fefiñáns, Cambados and Santo Tomé once competed against each other; today they form a unique historic ensemble where each quarter still keeps its own character.
The town’s most poetic spot is the Santa Mariña Dozo Cemetery. The roofless ruins of this 15th-century Gothic church now shelter open-air tombs. Writer Álvaro Cunqueiro famously described it as “the most melancholic cemetery in the world”.
Its iconic Fefiñáns Square hides a clever secret: the pazo embraces the square so perfectly that it feels like a private courtyard. And the famous Albariño Festival? It began in 1953 as a friendly wager between local winemakers to decide who made the best wine. Today, it’s an event of International Tourist Interest.
Finally, if you visit O Sardiñeiro beach, you’ll witness the traditional shellfish gathering carried out by its iconic mariscadoras, the true heart of Cambados’ gastronomy.
Pontevedra is one of Galicia’s most charming city breaks, perfect for travellers who enjoy slow walks, historic streets and great food.
