San Vicente do Mar

One of the most inviting places that I have found throughout the Spanish geography is this small town located in Galicia.

San Vicente do Mar has all the charm of any place wrapped by the sea and has all the facilities of a city. A dozen beaches and coves are spread along the road between this town and A Toxa, my favorite ones are Raeiros, la Lapa, la Barrosa, Farruco…

They are used to the human tide that arrives every summer…The town is very calm, because even though it’s flanked by popular places such as Sanxenxo and A Toda, it doesn’t receive as many visitors.

My favorite part is the possibility of eating in restaurants such as O’Farruco or Marcial and to eat seafood at a reasonable price with great quality.

It is a wonderful place, my boyfriend is from Galicia and really these are places that one must see. As people say… this are the landscapes that make you feel the identity of Galicia (“morriña por Galicia”).

You can walk next to the sea, with a great relaxed atmosphere.

You can have fun, enjoy yourself, walk, and contemplate the landscape, the cliffs and the different animal species.

I recommend an afternoon walk on the promenade to see the magical sunset. If you continue walking you will arrive at a beautiful viewpoint that allows you to observe the nature of the landscape, a perfect fusion between the sea, rocks and nature.

After the viewpoint you will find an area for military purposes with two cannons that despite their age they still function.

It has a great club and there is a great restaurant called El Pirata: good food, good prices and with an amazing decoration.
