A Guarda

Built around a fishing harbour at the mouth of the Miño, A Guarda grew into a Galician coastal town facing Portugal across the estuary. The Atlantic shore meets the river here, while Monte Santa Trega rises immediately above town and preserves one of north-west Iberia’s best-known Iron Age hillforts. Its excavated castro reveals circular stone dwellings from the pre-Roman period, and the summit also carries the Santa Trega sanctuary. Fishing remains part of local life, reflected in the harbour and seafood cooking.
