In the middle of 2020, when the only thing I and my friends were looking for was a place near the sea to disconnect a little from the information bombardments caused by the pandemic, we rented a small house for a weekend in O Grove. The usual group, but two hours from where we grew up. We went in two cars, the trip was pleasant and when we arrived we fell in love with the place. I had been to Sansenxo years ago, but this place a few kilometers from this professional summer spot breathed a calmer air. We hit it off with this fishing village and he hit it off with us.
I have had to strain my memory hard to remember the most emblematic places of this town in the Salnés region because almost all the time my friend Sandra comes to mind playing the guitar in the garden of a small house at sunset or Dani driving while I looked at the sea through the car window. The promenade is beautiful, but the center of town also has its good dose of charm.
Restaurant A launched
To eat, you cannot leave without stopping by the A Lanzada restaurant, specialized in fish and seafood, where they prepare dishes with quality products that come from the estuary. I recommend that you order monkfish rice and wild prawns. A choice that never disappoints. In addition, during the summer nights it has a wide selection of concerts so you can extend your dinner as long as you want and more.
I also recommend super plans low cost how to make yourself tupperware of pasta salad and go spend the day at the beach if the temperatures allow it and spend a day in the sun enjoying the good weather. You can also do some other route around the area and for me the best is to go to the island of La Toja, where in addition to enjoying spectacular views you can visit the La Ermita de San Caralampio, a kind of chapel completely covered in scallop shells.
Nautical of Saint Vincent
Other must is to go to the Náutico del San Vicente. Live music geeks will understand me. This is a bar in front of the beach in San Vicente do Mar that keeps a secret who is going to perform each night. Fans of indie: is your place. You get the blind ticket, which usually ranges between 15 and 25 euros, and Iván Ferreiro and the Sexy Zebras, Kiko Veneno or Vera Fauna can appear on stage. All this with the sea in the background. There is not a spot equal.
