Pontevedra

Pontevedra lies along the Lérez River at the head of the Ría de Pontevedra, where the low Galician coast meets a tidal estuary and wooded inland hills. Its compact historic centre is shaped by granite buildings, arcaded squares and streets that have been extensively pedestrianised. The 16th-century Basilica of Santa María la Mayor is distinguished by its elaborate Plateresque façade, while Praza da Ferrería and Praza da Leña remain central gathering places. Pontevedra also forms part of the Portuguese Camino, linking the city to a wider network of Iberian pilgrimage routes.
