Pontevedra: Puente de las Corrientes - Porto deportivo de Pontevedra - Ponte do Burgo - Lérez

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.

The Atlantic coast and deeply cut river valleys define much of Galicia — they have long sustained fishing, shellfish farming, vineyards and small-scale agriculture. On the western shore, the Rías Baixas form a succession of tidal inlets closely tied to the region’s seafood culture. Inland, the Miño and Sil rivers run through the terraced slopes of Ribeira Sacra, an area known for longstanding wine production. Santiago de Compostela is Galicia’s historic and spiritual centre, with its cathedral marking the traditional destination of the Camino de Santiago. Galician identity is also heard in its own language, spoken alongside Spanish. See how Galicia belongs to the wider north-western Iberian landscape by browsing webcams nearby.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
