General presentation
O Grove and Arousa Island
Rías Baixas seaside and gourmet, between peninsula, beaches, islands, seafood and calm waters.
To understand what O Grove and Arousa Island are, you have to look at O Grove, A Toxa Island and Cambados. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, island landscapes, natural areas and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very much needed in summer and galician weather variable. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
O Grove
O Grove is read since the movement between the port space and the rural areas nearby, with bay views that change according to the journey. A fluid approach highlights the local materials and textures of the marine front. Clear mornings are often the most favorable.
Place
Cambados
Cambados mixes historical centre with coastal setting, and it is more complete when you explore it by changing scale, from street plan to sea views. The pace of the passage must remain fixed to record the details. The early afternoon light is good.
Place
Illa de Arousa
The Illa de Arousa offers an island atmosphere marked by horizons and more intimate areas. A continuous walk between water points and local roads reveals its structure. Soft hours reinforce visual clarity without burning the details.
Coast
Beach of Lanzada
The beach of La Lanzada requires a simple and repeated approach: walk, mark a point of view, then resume further. The shoreline is changing according to the wind, which makes each moment different. In the morning or end of the day limits glare.
