Routes of Galicia | Sanxenxo y La Toja

The municipality of Sanxenxo is geographically located in the Salnés Valley, between the Rías de Pontevedra and Arousa. In the landscape of the municipality of Sanxenxo we can find two different areas: the interior and the coast. The interior, a succession of gentle and undulating valleys, lush forests and large areas of vineyards and orchards. The coastal area has two sectors: one is rocky, slightly indented, smooth and sheltered, at the mouth of the estuary, while the other, in the more open area, is sandy and arched, a succession of beaches and headlands that go into the sea ​​forming steep and beautiful cliffs and becoming wonderful natural viewpoints. This rich and varied coastal profile, which stretches for 36 kilometres, is dotted with a succession of magnificent beaches. The natural beauty of the enclave, the special microclimate that characterizes the Rías Baixas area and a wide and varied range of quality services have made this municipality one of the most important tourist centers in Galicia and the tourist capital of the Rías Baixas.
