Our Neighbourhood
Pontevedra has a quiet small-town atmosphere (85.000 inhabitants). It boasts one of the largest and most elegant historic old city in the whole of Galicia. "Old quarter" (pedestrian) extends in a network of streets and squares with typical stone houses and historical civic and religious buildings, where walking and eating typical "tapas" is a pleasure. It is 5 minutes walking from our apartment.
SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA is only 65 km (40 minutes) from Pontevedra, with motorway, train, bus and airplane connections.
Another airports close to Pontevedra: Vigo, Oporto.
In the second week of August there is a big Festival in Pontevedra, with a lot of free concerts and a lot of fun.

FR2210680C'était un très bel échange avec une famille très gentille et très accueillante. L'appartement est idéalement situé près de la vieille ville où il est très agréable de se promener avec ses nombreuses boutiques et ses restaurants. Nous avons été séduits par l'environnement de Pontevedra, les paysages sont très variés.
