Combarro is a small fishing village on the Ría de Pontevedra, a few kilometres west of Pontevedra city. It's one of the best-preserved examples of traditional Galician coastal architecture in the region, declared a Historic-Artistic Site.
What makes Combarro distinctive is the concentration of hórreos — the raised stone granaries used to store corn — that line the waterfront, appearing to overhang the sea. Alongside them stand cruceiros (stone crosses) and the stone houses of fishermen and farmers, all packed into the narrow cobbled lanes of the old quarter. Walking through takes under an hour but rewards unhurried exploration. Come on a weekday if you can; it draws crowds on summer weekends.
