The location is wonderful, Avenida del Malecón is the heart of Ribeira, facing the port area, with wonderful sea views, it is a flat area with wide walking areas, and with all services at your doorstep, supermarkets, pharmacies, and retail stores. The entrance and exit of the city are very simple, via the AC-550 which leads directly to the Malecón. It is the westernmost part of the O Barbanza peninsula. Ribeira, with almost 30,000 inhabitants, shares its coast between sandy beaches with calm waters inside the estuary and the broader and wilder Atlantic beaches where the sand fights with the sea and wind currents. On many of its beaches, you will find two common elements: dunes and large rocks that act as a natural border or limit. The dunes express movement, the passage of time, while the granite masses, more difficult to erode, preserve the memory of these enclaves. The distance to Santiago de Compostela is 54 minutes by car, about 65 km traveled by the AG-11 and AP-9. The nearest airport is Santiago's.
