Parador Cambados
The Parador Cambados (official name is Parador El Albariño) has avoided the foreign tourist crowds - though it does attract in-the-know Spanish vacationers. It is situated on the Ria de Arosa (a huge fjord) and has a pretty waterfront promenade. The town is very low-key and maintains a peaceful, pleasant atmosphere.
In the middle of the town center of Cambados, the Parador Cambados is located on the Paseo Marítimo. The town is 55 and 65 km, respectively, from Vigo and Santiago, and 11 from Vilagarcía de Arousa.
The Parador Cambados is a century-old "noble house" - spacious and open. Don't miss having a seafood meal in the fine restaurant - and be sure and order a bottle of Albariño to accompany your meal. It is made only in Galicia, and is by far the best wine anywhere for pairing with seafood.
A good half-day excursion is to drive out along the shores of this Ria - or even to drive a bit further afield and visit the other rias in the area. Also you could take the short excursion over to ancient Monesterio de Santa Maria de Armenteira (founded in 1162), or drive down and around to O Grove.
