Sanxenxo, Pontevedra

Sanxenxo - Overview:

Sanxenxo is one of Galicia's tourism capitals. Its population increases during the summer and its large scale urban development means everything is modern.

Before the tourism boom, it was nothing more than a small fishing village, but the constant arrival of visitors transformed its appearance totally, as people were drawn by its beautiful beach and bustling nightlife.

Sanxenxo - Beaches:

A Lanzada, a beach which runs for more than 4km, belongs to the town councils of O Grove and Xanxenxo and is one of the most popular in Galicia. The sanctuary there is visited by women wishing to start a family, as legend believes its waters can influence fertility.

The port of Sanxenxo is clearly designed for tourism, offering places to drop anchor, above all for shallow-draught boats. It is also used by small fishing boats which work inside the estuary.

Sanxenxo - Out & About:

The fishermen's neighbourhood and the outskirts of Sanxenxo are still reminiscent of times gone by, as is nearby Portonovo, an attractive seaside town. The traditional local flavour of its harbour makes it one of the most charming corners of the Rias Baixas.
