Marin

Marin is a popular place to visit in Pontevedra as a large number of the area’s star attractions are within easy reach.

If time permits, be sure to also visit the Playa de Areas and the Pontevedra Town Hall.

To better understand Pontevedra, take a trip to one of its fabulous cultural destinations. Admire, learn and become intrigued in the various museums such as the Museo de Pontevedra. Go and see a live show at Teatro Principal.

To really get a feel for the area, visit some of the local sights such as the Praza de la Pelegrina and the Praza de Lena. These are a magnet for travellers from all over the world. The Pontevedra area is filled with reminders of the past; don’t miss the Basilica Santa Maria and the Santuario de la Peregrina. Admire some of the holy places such as the San Francisco Church.
