Camelle
There’s a town beach and a smaller cove round the corner from that and a popular beach with surfers at the next village,Arou (a short drive or a walk of about 20 minutes).
The village has a small supermarket, two butcher's, a chemist's and a health clinic and two excellent bakeries and bread, fish and other mobile vans come. Locals, who carefully tend their vegetable patches, will often sell you their produce as well as free range eggs.
There is further shopping at the little town of Ponte do Porto (six kms) where there is a weekly street market.
There are several bars and one restaurant and in the summer months, when the village and area are more lively, shacks on the beach offering fresh fish and seafood.
There is good walking along the rocky shore, through tiny fields; the drive or walk to Cabo Vilan takes you to a dramatic point from which to view the coast.

Reviews of this property
"We spent a week in a traditional cottage in the small port of Camelle in the Rias Altas region of Galicia with Casas Cantabricas. The cottage was lovely and the service good. Would recommend this part of Spain for a relaxing break", (Client 2016)
