This is a good hike in the woods with lots of interesting history with the water mills. If you read Spanish the sign boards are also very informative.

We could see the Fortress from our restaurant on the seafront of Baiona and thought we would walk over to have a look at it. It is only €1 to get into the fortress which is excellent value as we spent the next couple of hours looking around it. It was a beautiful walk in the evening sun walking up steps, along ramparts, and enjoying the stunning views over the marina and the ocean. Well worth a visit.
9. Los Horreos de Combarro

Los Horreos are simply the refrigerators of the past. They were used (and sometimes still are!) for storing semi-perishables like potatoes, grains, meats, etc... They are up on stilts and have protective bases to keep vermin out. Some have been refurbished with a more modern look but many appear just like they would have 500 years ago.

Your first port of call before exploring the old town is the Tourist Information Office, itself in a historic building, where a map is available plus lots of information from the staff. This is a fascinating town to explore on foot, but beware of cars driving down the narrow alleys. You will find churches such as the Basilica de Santa Maria and the Iglesia de San Bartolome, former grand houses such as Pazo del Baron, informal squares with restaurants, bars, statues and fountains, plus the town's theatre which, although relatively modern, is designed to blend in with the town's architecture.
