Our Area




MY FAVOURITE PLACE IN THE WORLD

The name of the place where I live is A Guarda. It's a seaside village in the southwest coast of Galicia.

In A Guarda there are a lot of places to be visited. For example, Mount Santa Tegra, in which there is a Celtic village. Surrounding the village, there are a lot of beaches. On one of them, A Lamiña, we can see the end of the river Miño, which is a river that crosses all Galicia.

In my opinion, the most striking place in A Guarda is the port. There you can see the most spectacular sunset in the world. Colours and sea air make a wonderful atmosphere that moves you to other world. It's like a world of dreams. When the sun goes down, colours reflect in the water and that makes an exciting picture. There is also a street with a lot of restaurants. There you can enjoy some of the best seafood in the area.

People here are very nice and all of us are like a big family, because the village isn't very big. In our traditional annual  festival all the people in the village gather and we show our love to each other and to our village. A Guarda is the most fantastic place to live and I wouldn't change it for nothing.

A Guarda

Like more than 10.000 inhabitants, I live in a especial village in Galicia, Spain; where  Galicia's longest river flows into the sea. It makes border with the north of Portugal and as you can guess, knowing that it's on the coast, it's a fishing village.

A Guarda has its own history, which comes from the Celtics, in fact we keep the remains of their settlement up in our Mount Santa Tegra. My village also has a wonderful landscape with two different options: mountain and beach ''all in one!'' On top of the Mount SantaTegra you can visit the most meaningful and magnificent place of the village, admiring its Celtic villages and seeking the hidden petroglifos. Then, you can choose among three beaches. Besides, we have an awesome fishing port to go for a walk along the long promenade.

A Guarda is a quiet village, perfect for a relaxing holiday, nonetheless if you love party-time you can enjoy yourself at Saturday nights in a lot of pubs and discos.

This village has it all! Are you going to miss it? Come here and visit us!

A Guarda

A Guarda is a picturesque fishing village in the southwest of Galicia.

A Guarda is a wonderful place to visit as it has beautiful sandy beaches and a very famous mountain called Santa Tegra with Celtic ruins; furthermore, this mountain is the second most visited place in Galicia. There you can enjoy beautiful views of the river Miño estuary and the mountains in Portugal. There is also a ferry boat that crosses over to Portugal in less than 10 minutes. A lot of people use it to go for a coffee or to go to the market.

The buildings in the habour are painted with different colours and there is a beautiful promenade from the habour to the River Miño Estuary.   

A Guarda is definitely the right place to visit because it has everything you could wish for in same town; the sea, a river and a mountain.
