We highlight the fishing village of A Guarda, with its attractive port and the impressive Castro de Santa Tecla (National Historical Artistic Monument, 1st century BC), and its spectacular viewpoint from which we can see the mouth of the Miño River, as well as in Oia, the Monastery of Santa María (12th century)
