Ponte Sampaio Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

After passing the small town of Arcade and its beautiful gardens, you come face to face with this bridge, which goes over the River Verdugo. On the other side is the town of Puente Sampayo (or Ponte Sampaio in Galician), a parish of Pontevedra. The Battle of Pontesampaio of the Spanish War of Independence took place here, ending the French occupation after five months.

Ermita de Peneda

Highlight • Religious Site

At the top of this mountain now stands a small hermitage that recalls the numerous remains scattered around the place that give clues to the settlements that occupied this viewpoint in the past.

Viewpoint of Monte A Peneda

Highlight • Viewpoint

Elevated, with a unique shape and visible from much of the region, Mount A Peneda is one of the most unique places around the Vigo estuary.

The chapel of Nosa Señora das Neves or Virxe da Peneda, dating from the 17th century, presides over the top of this peak of 329 meters and very steep slopes. The building occupies the site of the A Peneda fort, a settlement that took advantage of the easy strategic defense and the breadth of views.

From the A Peneda viewpoint, next to its old cork oak, you can see the Vigo estuary, from its formation at the mouth of the Verdugo River to Rande, with the Cíes Islands in the background.
