Info about the area

Only 9km from Pontevedra, on the slope of the Morrazo peninsula and bathed in the Vigo Ria, you will find Vilaboa, a traditional fishing region composed of the fishing port of Santa Cristina de Cobres and the mussel port of San Adrián. Perhaps Vilaboa’s biggest attractions are the three nature preserves it shares with other regions: Cotorredondo, encompassing Castiñeiras Lake and a natural lookout over the rias; the cove of San Simón, a nature preserve teeming with bird life at the end of the Vigo Ria, the mouth of the Verdugo River; and the Morrazo mountains, with their characteristically Atlantic plant life. Besides these protected areas, you can marvel at the beauty of other natural spots, like the Domaio mountains, Vilaboa cove, and Barrio de Paredes, with the old Ulló saltworks, its deep valley crowded with pine, oak, willow, and birch trees, and the wetlands that serve as a refuge to a large colony of migratory birds.

Rural Art
There are also some very interesting rock carvings found in the area surrounding Lake Castiñeiras, and a tidal waterwheel in Vilaboa. The ruins of Ubeiras Castle, which watched over the entrance to San Simón cove from the Strait of Rande, are worth seeing, as are the Acuña cruceiro (carved stone cross), Casa Barreira, and the parish church in Vilaboa.

Cobres Carnival
The Cobres Carnival has been declared of Tourist Galician Interest. The tradition there centers around the so called Dance of the Ladies and Gallants, in which the dancers wear heavy, brightly-colored hats and go from house to house singing and dancing and asking for donations. On Fat Tuesday it is customary to eat bandullo, a sweetbread made from milk, bread, sugar, and eggs, and later to take part in the corrida do galo (chicken run), in which the townsfolk try to steal a chicken from a group of men dressed as geezers who are in charge of keeping it from them.

Other Traditions
Another charming tradition is Los Maios, a spring festival celebrated in several regions in the province, but each in its own unique way. In Vilaboa, on May 1 the young men parade through town with a wooden frame that they have built and covered with flowers, all the while singing out verses about Vilaboa’s social life. Other traditions are also preserved besides the Carnival and Los Maios, like the marine parade of El Carmen; and the patron saints’ days are celebrated, on the days of San Adrián and Santa Cristina, San Juan in Vilaboa, and San Benito in Figueirido.

Car Route from Pontevedra to Vilaboa:
This route starts in Pontevedra and finishes in Vilaboa, from the spring of the Ría de Pontevedra to the spring of the Ría de Vigo. This itinerary by car will allow us to meet the Rías Baixas traveling around its villages and towns and stopping in those places that impress the visitor because of their beauty and singularity.
The starting point is Pontevedra, capital of the Rías Baixas. We must stop in the city to walk around the old quarter and visit the Santa María Basilica, the Virxe da Peregrina Chapel, San Francisco Church, and Ferrería, Leña, Verdura, Méndez Núñez and Mugartegui Squares. From Pontevedra, we take the PO-12 Road towards Marín, where we can see the Naval Academy from the village. We continue the route on the C-551 to Bueu. During the journey, we can see the beauty of some beaches from the Ría de Pontevedra. In Bueu, we can visit the Santa Cruz, Buril and O Casal palaces, as well as the fishing port.
Once we have visited Bueu, we can continue towards Beluso in order to drive to Udra Cape. From this cape, we can see beautiful landscapes of the Ría de Pontevedra, as well as the Aldán inlet. If we take the Road 351, we will skirt aroun the inlet until we reach Aldán towncenter. From there, we drive to Hío (Cangas) to visit the beautiful Hío Tranpset, which is considered the best example of this kind of Galician art. We leave Hío towards Cabo Home, an ecological area with two lighthouses and several routes to go on foot. Cliffs are rough and the power of the Atlantic Ocean will entertain us for some minutes. Once we have visited Cabo Home, we will move to Cangas, opposite to Vigo. Cangas has a fishing port that gives a marine environment to the village. Despite this, it is a place where the visitor can enjoy the gastronomy, the sea and the coast. We continue on the C-551 road to Domaio, passing by Moaña and Meira. We can will drive under the magnificent Rande Bridge (N-554 road) to reach the end of our route: Vilaboa. This road allow us to see the San Simón Inlet, until we arrive to Vilaboa. Once we arrive, we must take a deviation in order to go to Castiñeiras Lake. From this place, the end of our route, we can see beautiful views of the Ría de Pontevedra and the Ría de Vigo, as well as walk on a nature reserve, where children and adults enjoy the contact with nature close to towns like Pontevera or Vigo.
