We can't wait to share our special day with you.
Catholic Ceremony and Mass
The journey from the church to the venue takes 10-15min by car (see the map below).
There will be a Bus (Company Galisur), waiting outside the church to take guests to Pazo de Cea. If you are interested in taking the bus, please let us know. If the bus is full, we will be able to help you get into a car of another guest. There is also the option of ordering a taxi using the numbers in the Transportation section.
There won't be a bus service from the reception venue back to Baiona. We strongly recommend pre-booking a taxi for after the celebration, depending at what time you wish to leave. The music and dancing will keep going until 4AM! The pick up point : Pazo de Cea, Camiño de Cea, 1, 36350 Nigrán, Pontevedra, Spain
The best way to get around Galicia is to rent a car at one of the airports or using local taxis.
If you are flying in, you have different airports to choose from depending where you are coming from:
From the airport you can take a taxi or there are buses available (although check timetables). You can also hire a car at the airport which will give you flexibility to move around and explore the area.
If you are travelling from Madrid, or elsewhere in Spain, you can arrive to the centre of Vigo with the high-speed train.
There are several car rental options, and the taxi services are relatively inexpensive.
There is no Uber / Bolt / Cabify in the area.
To book a taxi, please use one of the numbers below to book your trip. They are all available on WhatsApp.
There are many options ranging from hotels to characterful hostels, campings (Baiona Playa with nice bungalows, or Playa America camping) and of course AirBnB options. The map below shows a few hotels that we recommend and also their locations with respect to the church and wedding venue.
Galicia has its own language, cuisine, culture (bagpipes!), and architecture. We recommend that you take advantage of what it has to offer. The list below is a good start.
The capital of the Pontevedra province is the city of Pontevedra, with nice streets and a church. Vigo is very important as well, industrial city that thrived in shipbuilding and the conserveras. The Citroen factory gives jobs to a great part of the population.
Galicia is famous for its food and it is the home of Albariño and Ribeiro white wines. We encourage you to explore!
We have listed a few places that Leti's family have enjoyed (for decades!). Additionally, using Google Maps / Foursquare and other apps will have a lot more recommendations.
On Mondays mornings, early afternoons, there is el mercadillo de Sabaris (flea market): just stroll along the different stalls. We love to buy empanadas there, amazing loaves of bread (try the pan de maiz), the famous Galician cheese (Queso de Tetilla) and quince (stall in front of the church, a very big one), coffee liqueur. Stop for a coffee and a pastry at Panaderia Yajoma, Julian Valverde 69, 36393 at Galician prices. All the products are locally sourced. There are plenty of other things like clothes, swimsuits, shoes, etc.
The Meson Fidalgo, Rua Julian Valverde 79, 36393, is a great option for tapas or dinner.
In Baiona you should try the small tapas bars populating the old part of the village, those small, cobblestoned streets peppering Baiona. On the main street, Avenida Monterreal, you will find all sorts of tempting things like, waffles, ice creams, pastries, burgers, pizzas. And the iconic Churreria Emilin for hot chocolate and churros: a must try.
Taperia O'Monte, unknown to tourists, is great for trying different types of tortillas and other Galician specialities. Situated on top of a hill, you will have to follow the signposts or use GPS. Great for families, better booking in advance: +34 609804666. They also provide accommodation.
Restaurante Asador Los Abetos, good for beefeaters, open fire grill.
A restaurant with stunning views of the Cíes Islands, especially if you get the seat on the terrace. Casa Alberto can be found at: Rua do Torreiro, 1, 36391 Priegue.
If you are flying to/from Santiago, there is a very good restaurant 1 minute from the airport, Casa Lorenzo, Lavacolla, s/n, 15820 Santiago de Compostela, La Coruña. We like also A Casa da Vina, Rua de San Lazaro, 54, 15703 Santiago de Compostela (closed on Mondays), away from the places near the cathedral, that are overpriced and busy.
Get a coffee/food and enjoy the views from La Genuina café. The northern end of the beach has very good places for tapas and food, like El Pescador, Punto e Coma, or JR.
We love Maui Beach Patos and La Ola (outdoor bar). Also in the Patos area, there are good places to eat: La Piccola Italia pizzeria, Taperia O'Druida, pop up food trucks or great ice creams at Xuntos (there is another one in Playa America).
