Introduction
The seafaring heart of the town: fishing boats, the fish market where seafood is auctioned, and seaside walks with views of A Toxa.
Description
In the fishing port, next to Praza do Corgo, is the fish market of the San Martín Fishermen's Guild. Here, mainly clams and cockles are auctioned, but also barnacles, razor clams, sea urchins, and inshore fish.
The fish market offers guided tours to see the auction, labeling, and unloading of the product; check the schedules before you go.
- Walks: the Beiramar and Lordelo promenades run along the coast; the Lordelo promenade is famous for its sunsets.
- By boat: tourist catamarans depart from the port for tours of the estuary.
- Nearby: the Monument to the Shellfishing Family.
