A Guarda North Spain
At the south most western point of Galicia where the River Miño, natural border with Portugal, flows into the Atlantic, the small fishing port of A Guarda occupies a position of obvious strategic importance. Just beside the town, Monte Santa Tecla, is famous not only for its amazing views over the Miño and the Atlantic coast but also for the remains of a Celtic settlement there, one of the most important in Europe.

Here the combination of river, beach and mountain combined with ease of access not only to the local Spanish towns of Baiona and Tui but also with those of the North of Portugal on your doorstep means there is something for everyone.

Add to that the local gastronomy - A Guarda is famous for its lobsters - there is a fantastic lobster festival held here here in July and fish restaurants to suit all pockets line the seafront. Along with the deliciously fresh white Albariño wine produced here, the scene is set for a great holiday.
