Places in Spain - Pontevedra, Galicia

 

Pontevedra is a province within Galicia. The Province sits neatly on the top edge of Portugal. It has an indented coastline with sheltered harbours, pleasant beaches and a small fishing community. Basically as far as the tourist is concerned, the province has one Mediterranean-style holiday resort.

 

The countryside is quite green and agreeable but is easily accessed by the toll road and motorways. Many buses pass through from major cities.

The old town of Pontevedra is quite small with picturesque winding streets, little squares, fountains and old houses with balconies. The church of Santa Maria at the far end of the Calle Isabel II, was built in the 16th century. Because of the narrow alleyways and one-way street system it is much easier to walk around Pontevedra rather than try to drive. In the Plaza de Lena is the provincial museum, located in two 18th century houses, joined together by an arch. The museum contains something of interest to everyone including collectables, pottery and items of days gone by.

 

Although there are plenty of hotels along the coastline, you could do no better than to stay at the Parador in Pontevedra. There are also plenty of campsites in the area.

Pontevedra means 'old bridge' and the town is situated at the top of the Ria of the same name. The whole region of Galicia would be an ideal place to holiday if it wasn't for the unpredictable weather. Here it is wetter than anywhere else in Spain and the wind blows directly from America.
