Casa Agarimo

A large and colourful affair where you'll find an amazing choice of fresh vegetables, cheeses and even octopus!

It's now a National Park and you can enjoy a lazy day on the fabulous beaches of fine white sand. Or walk through the sand dunes to sweet-smelling eucalyptus groves, watch for rare species of birds and then enjoy a meal in the islands' restaurant.

Not far away via the motorway and well worth a visit. Walk along the Marina promenade, tour the grounds of the Monterreal Castle, visit the replica of La Pinta (which brought the news of the discovery of the New World to Baiona).

Ponte Caldelas, for example, is an attractive riverside town with some fine examples of Galician manor houses, known locally as 'Pazos'. Stroll along the banks of the Verdugo river or relax awhile on the river beach there. Stay for lunch too - trout from the river is a local speciality.

an approximately 30 minute walk along the coastal path to the port area of Cangas. Enjoy the views out to see and stop off for a cold drink in the little bars you will pass along the way.
