Discover the Most Important Gardens in Galicia

Galicia has much to give those who spend a few days here. Tourist towns, monuments, viewpoints, beaches and historic centres — and many gardens that will make for unforgettable moments.

Pazo de Lourizán, Pontevedra

The Lourizán Gardens in Pontevedra — a magical space to include in your Rías Baixas itinerary. Once belonged to politician and jurist Eugenio Montero Ríos; now owned by the Pontevedra Provincial Council.

Since 1949 used for research and recreation — free to visit. By late 19th century, alongside the gardens, an impressive Modernist-style structure was built. The Pazo treasures unique Galician species.

A Saleta, A Sobreira

A Saleta — UNESCO recognised. Designed by a British family with advice from landscape architect Brenda Colvin, in the centre of O Salnés. Now owned by the Rodríguez Coladas family, who have multiplied the species sheltered here. Trees from all over the world.

José Martí Park, Santa Cristina

A privileged location very close to the beach. Extensive green area with fish ponds, rest zones and children's playgrounds. Great with the whole family — gardens with a privileged view metres from the Galician coast.

French Garden of Castrelos, Vigo

At the Quiñones de León Museum — one of the most appealing gardens. Impressive myrtle mazes resembling Versailles. Many trees and flowers create a film-like setting. Iconic in the city, with a beautiful granite dolphin fountain.

Banks of the Miño River, Ourense

If you visit Ourense and want a place to relax with a privileged view, head to the Miño riverbank. Afternoons here are truly magical — visitors come for shade and to enjoy nightfall and the river breeze. A great way to end a day's tour.
