Combarro, Mysterious Galician Treasure

Combarro is known as one of the loveliest villages in Galicia, in Pontevedra. Combarro is a magical Galician treasure you won't forget — many special spaces for every visitor.

A beautiful old town with stone, wood and tile houses. The harbour around the village is important — you can see the yachts on the edge. Combarro was declared a Historic Site and is considered a museum.

Walking its streets is a delight, full of art. A beautiful place you'll always remember — small but magical.

What to do in the Galician treasure?

Some things to do and see in this little village:

Visit the hórreos

Combarro is known as the village of hórreos. They are ancient traditional structures used to store food and grain. Made of wood and stone on pillars to keep rodents out. Built near the sea to store goods from boats.

In Combarro there are 60 hórreos!, almost all on the coast — proof of the fishing and farming activity.

Try the gastronomy

Try seafood, especially at restaurants with spectacular estuary views. Quality is exceptional in every dish.

Architecture

The town features stone buildings typical of maritime tradition. The old quarter keeps 18th- and 19th-century architecture, with little squares to rest while you walk.

Cruceiros

Stone crosses that decorate the village. One famous spot is the Plaza de San Roque with two granite crosses.

At least seven crosses made to protect the village from witches who gathered in Combarro. Most are in squares or at crossroads. The Virgin looks to the sea and Christ to the land.

Harbour

A coastal town without a harbour? Impossible. Enjoy the maritime tradition and new trends. A favourite place to sit and enjoy the view with a tapa, beer and wine.

Watch fishermen preparing their gear, yachts heading out to the estuary, and kids playing. One of the best afternoon plans.
