Info About the Area

At the southernmost point of the Pontevedra coast, on the border with neighboring Portugal, is the region of A Guarda. Its magnificent location allows you to enjoy all the advantages conferred by the confluence of maritime, ocean, mountain, and river environments. The Miño estuary is fundamental to this natural setting; its great ecological richness, and most especially its bird population, has caused many biologists to think of it as the Doñana of Galicia.

A Guarda offers the visitors wonderful sea beaches and, in the Miño, the exceptional fluvial beach of Camposancos. Another singular characteristic is its landscape diversity, which can be watched in all its magnitude from the natural viewpoints of the mountains of Tegra and Torroso. But without any doubt, one of the most outstanding attractive things is the estuary of the Miño, with singular wet areas that shelter a valuable richness. In this protected natural space you can see several bird species of different situation in the peninsular Northwest.

Mount Santa Tegra One of the best-known places in the region is undoubtedly Mount Santa Tegra. No one who visits this marvelous spot will come away disappointed. Landscapes, hiking, and history come together in perfect harmony on this famous mountain to ensure the enjoyment of anyone who comes to visit. From its summit you can marvel at the finest views of the Miño estuary and the neighboring lands of Portugal. The climb up the mountain includes a stop at the citania, one of the best examples of the fort-building culture in Galicia, and a declared Artistic Historic Landmark. Only a few steps away from the museum there is a small chapel that was erected in honor of the saint who gives the mountain its name; every year the Procession of the Vow is celebrated here in memory of the end of a prolonged drought thanks to the intervention of the Virgin. And you can’t come down off the mountain without have walked at least part of the Way of the Cross built into its slope.

Baiona is an obligatory stop for pilgrims and the quintessential vacation area of the southern Rías Baixas. It is immersed in a rugged landscape comprising the Bay of Baiona and the Miñor and Grova Rivers. This natural setting has resulted in the declaration of many nature preserves, including the Miñor River wetlands, Mount Grova, and the Estelas Islands. Baiona means history and art, but also sports and fun. The town has a large recreational port and a Nautical Club that periodically organizes different activities like sailing, surfing, catamaran, and SCUBA diving classes. After a day spent relaxing on the beach, sampling the local cuisine, sailing, hiking, and enjoying the fantastic views and heritage, comes the nighttime – the time to go out and have some fun. And in Baiona having fun is inescapable, in fact in summer much of the population of Vigo makes its way over to Baiona to enjoy nights out at the many bars, pubs, and discos open for business there. Pinta Caravel Museum Baiona was the first port in Europe to have notice of the discovering of America. On March 1st 1493, the caravel Pinta, skippered by Martín Alonso Pinzón. moored at these waters. With the celebration of the 5th Centenary of the Discovering, a replica of the ship was built that remains moored, for visitors, at one of the docks. The "Pinta" was the most sailing boat out of the three ships used by Columbus and frequently had to wait for the other two during the historical journey, also due to Captain Pinzon´s skills. On October 8th, fighting for arriving first to discover new lands, it reached a speed of 15 miles/hour, superior to what now can reach a mid-steam merchant boat. The caravel "Pinta" brought several freight goods: gold, corn, yuca, frijol, peanut, cinnamon, cotton, tobacco, plants, animals and tools.
