An important milestone along the Camino de Santiago, and the last part of the route in the province of León, Villafranca was declared a site of historic and artistic interest in 1965. Among its many monuments, the Santiago and La Colegiata churches are of special note, as are San Francisco and La Anunciada Convents.

Pontevedra offers an extremely beautiful old quarter. Highlights include Cinco Ruas Square, Sta. María a Mayor Basilica, Do Peirao Square, Do Burgo Bridge, De Pedreia Square, and more.

In Cambados you can explore Fefiñanes pazo (country house) and San Benito Church, or the ruins of Sta. Mariña. In this land of wines, vineyards with the Albariño denominación de origen are of special interest to visitors.
