"Old quarter" (pedestrian) extends in a network of streets and squares with typical stone houses and historical civic and religious buildings, where walking and eating typical "tapas" is a pleasure. It is 5 minutes walking from our apartment.

FR2210680C'était un très bel échange avec une famille très gentille et très accueillante. L'appartement est idéalement situé près de la vieille ville où il est très agréable de se promener avec ses nombreuses boutiques et ses restaurants. Nous avons été séduits par l'environnement de Pontevedra, les paysages sont très variés.
