Playa de Areas

Reviewed By Pamela H - Madrid

Great beach, especially during the week - on weekends it can be a bit crowded. Clean, white sand. The bar at the beach is great and the people who run it are wonderful. Plenty of hammocks, chairs, umbrellas to rent, as well as paddle boats.

The Promenade in Sanxenxo passes right along this lovely beach, so it does get busy, but there is always plenty of room.

Barco Isla de Ons - Cruceros Rias Baixas

Reviewed By bibsandbobs4u - Fareham, United Kingdom

It was something different to take this exclusion Ons. We got a boat trip on the beautiful estuary and there are plenty of good tracks for walking on the island. The Beaches were fine but there were no facilities so everything has to be carried including beach chairs etc if required. There are some adequate restaurants and cafeterias on the island by the port. There are no cars or public transport on the island.
Getting tickets at the tiny ticket office at the beginning of the port was chaotic. I don't think it would have been any better to buy tickets online because you still have to queue up to exchange the printed vouchers for tickets. There is quite a walk from the ticket office to the boat which is fine for able-bodied people but it would not been particularly pleasant if we were trying to carry armfuls of beach equipment. It's not easy to get on and off the boat and to climb the stairs to the upper deck. The boat was very crowded in August.

Playa de Foxos

Reviewed By lkas1 - Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Buenos accesos, parking grande, buena arena, el mejor chiringuito de playa, bandera azul, socorristas, es bastante grande y cuando baja la marea queda descubierta una isla de arena y se hace muy ancha por lo que nunca parece que haya mucha gente, tiene olas bastante grandes que ayudan a meterse en el agua ya que está fría, como en toda la costa atlántica, buena playa para aprender a hacer surf, la playa mira al oeste y está protegida del norte. 100% recomendable

Adega Eidos

The winery belongs to the D.O "Rias Baixas", is located at the southern end from the subarea "Val do Salnes" on the foot of a hillside called "Padrinan", where there are many immemorial small plots which provide the winery. This area has a privileged position over Sanxenxo village and the entrance of Pontevedra estuary,it has an own microclimate, optimal for the grape growing, which added to the geophysical peculiarities of the floor, makes a grape with a great balance between acidity and sugar with an optimum ripening grade. This fact with a doubtless fame on the sector, originated an albarino wine with own personality, which made bigger with the years.

We visited here as part of an excursion with Discover Galicia, from Santiago de Compostela. Our welcome was warm and the visit was most interesting, learning about how the Albariño wines are produced and the effect the proximity to the sea has, upon the flavour. After the talk and tour we sat at tables and were provided with three glasses of different Albariño wines along with some tapas. It was a lovely relaxing end to the visit and the wines were all great.

Ermita de La Lanzada

Reviewed By Atxi69 - Estella, Spain

Este lugar es mágico desde todos los puntos. Se encuentra en un lugar destacado entre las bellas playas de Sanxenxo. Al acceder a la pequeña península que la contiene, nos encontramos con un antiguo castro del cual están intentando recuperarlo para mostrárselo al publico y aprender algo mas de la vida de los antiguos moradores del lugar. Ya la hermita es pequeña pero con una gran riqueza y belleza en su interior. Mirar al vasto océano desde su atalaya es espectacular.

Mirador A Granxa

Reviewed By Ricardo_312i

Merece la pena parar un instante con el coche.

Poco antes de llegar a la playa de Areas (dirección Sangenjo) parar a disfrutar de unas vistas muy amplias y limpias de la Ría de Pontevedra sobre el puerto y muelle de Raxó no llevará más de unos pocos minutos.
