It is known for the Albariño festival, a place where a large number of people gather every summer. But apart from the wineries, both Cambados and its surroundings have very charming places, which we recommend you visit. It is located in the Rías Baixas, precisely in the Ría de Arousa, a place noted for its rich gastronomy.
As for its cultural importance, it has essential places to visit, such as the house of shells, with a façade covered with an innumerable number of scallop shells, used to pay homage to the sea. house of cunchas
We also highlight the Casa dos Fraga, currently serving as a municipal library. Here we can find numerous sculptures dedicated to writers from the area. house two fraga
We emphasize that Cambados is the place of origin of Ramón Cabanillas, that is why we will find the House Museum, the place where the poet was born and grew up (a great referent of the Galician language).

Despite its appearance, this tower does not have medieval origins, but was erected by order of a nobleman.

This route has the peculiarity of being carried out by sea and river, beginning the navigation at the entrance of the Arousa estuary and going up to Pontecesures where, from Padrón, on the other side of the bridge that joins both towns, it joins the Portuguese Way.
A highly recommended route for those who have in mind to do the Camino!
