What to see and do in Ponte do Porto

Ponte do Porto is a town in A Coruña that takes its name from the medieval bridge, built in the 13th century, that spans the Rio Grande and joins both banks of the Ria de Camariñas, on the Way of the Lighthouses. Nearby, towards Muxía, lies the riverside port of Cereixo, with its manor house, its 16th-century towers and the Church of Santiago.

Port of Cereixo

A walk from Ponte do Porto, once you have passed the bridge in the direction of Muxía, will take you along a beautiful and renovated river promenade that will take you to the Cereixo riverside port, where you can still breathe the seafaring atmosphere with its traditional trades, such as fishing and carpentry.

Nucleus of Cereixo

The small but majestic architectural ensemble of Cereixo is of great importance. Already in 1228 King Alfonso IX granted it a town charter. Strolling next to its Pazo and Torres de Cereixo (16th century), admiring its tide mill (1674) and visiting the Church of Santiago (12th century) is a delight for the senses.
