Combarro
A stone fishing village by the sea, where dozens of traditional stone hórreos stand in a row along the shore. One of Galicia's most photogenic little villages.
Combarro sits on the north shore of Pontevedra Bay, about 6 km from Pontevedra. The village streets are cut into granite. Along the coast stand about 60 raised traditional stone hórreos, used to store corn and keep out damp and rodents, along with stone crosses (cruceiros) and seaside houses. At high tide the water nearly reaches the foot of the granaries. The narrow lanes hold several seafood restaurants and small shops selling homemade liqueurs. The village draws many visitors, especially at midday in peak summer, so go early in the morning or in the evening. It pairs easily with a visit to the old town of Pontevedra.
