Travel guide to Pontevedra
Pontevedra is a provincial capital and gives its name to the province that includes the much larger city of Vigo. Pontevedra receives a good press from the guidebooks as 'the quintessential Gallego town' and it deserves it. This is usually followed by the suggestion that it lacks specific sights, which is perhaps a bit unfair. The Praza de Peregrina with a church in the shape of a scallop shell is a splendid place to munch roasted chestnuts as the sun goes down, surrounded by impressive buildings and gardens.
It would be truer to say that the charm of Pontevedra doesn't depend on specific sights but there is everywhere a feeling of interest.
The pulperías here sell octopus far more cheaply than you will buy Pulpo Gallego anywhere else in Spain and the local wines are only now catching on in the Spanish market. In the cheaper and more traditional pulperías, wine is served in handleless earthenware pots. [edit text]  [editors]
