It’s an ideal location from which to explore Ría de Arousa and the Rías Baixas, but you really don’t need to go very far. The old quarter of Cambados, designated a Site of Cultural Interest, offers numerous examples of history, culture and heritage. It constitutes the best showcase of Galician manor houses and stately homes. There are also urban beaches with promenades and fine sand such as A Mouta Beach, where the San Sadurniño Tower, the remains of an ancient fortification that defended the town from attackers, is located.
Cambados is an ideal place for wine tourism. You can visit the Wine Museum, located next to the emblematic ruins of Santa Mariña Dozo, and explore routes through wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms. Wine culture is omnipresent in the streets of Cambados, and it’s no coincidence that its biggest celebration, held on the first Sunday of August, is the Albariño Festival. The Parador restaurant offers you the best wines, as well as a selection of the best local produce such as fish, seafood and Padrón peppers.
The capital of Albariño wine is an ideal place for wine tourism. Here you can also visit the Ethnographic and Wine Museum, and have the opportunity to visit wineries, vineyards and do wine tastings.
A short distance from Cambados is Vilagarcía de Arousa (11 km.), O Grove-Isla de A Toxa (22 km.), and Pontevedra capital (25 km.) where you can visit a gold ornament collection that is unique in Europe, with pieces that are more than 4,000 years old; along with other jewels, these pertaining to architecture.
