Galician fishing villages: Combarro

Galician fishing villages: Combarro

Combarro is one of the perfect places to learn about history through architecture.

The Galician village was characterized, among others, by the use of “hórreos” (constructions destined to keep and preserve food away from humidity and animals elevated on pillars).

Combarro is precisely the place with the highest number of them per square metre, since in this small and precious fishing village you can find up to 60 of these peculiar constructions.

The hórreos are just one example of the wonders that Combarro hides, being 3 the elements that stand out in this village.

One of them are the hórreos as we have explained, since only on the banks of the Pontevedra estuary will you be able to observe at least 30 of them lined up waiting to be photographed.

The second are their typically seafaring houses, which are glued to each other and have two floors: The upper floor (which includes a balcony always facing the sea) is dedicated to housing and the ground floor to storage of fishing and farming tools.

And the third its “cruceiros” (stone crosses), distributed throughout the historic center.

And to finish off the visit we recommend, without a doubt, sitting in one of its many restaurants and tasting its fantastic gastronomy in one of the best terraces in the Rías Baixas.
