Sanxenxo, a base for discovering the Rías Baixas

Staying in Sanxenxo lets you enjoy the beaches of the Rías Baixas while exploring different places nearby. The municipality lies on the northern shore of the Pontevedra estuary, while around A Lanzada its coastline opens onto the Atlantic with long sandy beaches.

From here, you can visit O Grove and Cambados, on the Arousa estuary, or explore Combarro and Pontevedra, combining landscapes, seafaring traditions, heritage and gastronomy. Sanxenxo is therefore an ideal base for combining beach days with trips around this part of the Rías Baixas.
