Our next visit takes us to the beach of A Lanzada, famous for its wild beauty, its rich landscape and also for the miraculous properties attributed to its waters, which have given rise to countless legends.

Near the beach is the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de A Lanzada, a Romanesque work dating from the 12th century, which we will also visit. The tower of A Lanzada, which is the remains of a medieval fortress from the 10th century, and the Roman necropolis complete the ensemble.

And the last stop will be in Cambados. As well as being the capital of Albariño wine, Cambados is famous for its rich history and stately architecture.
