What is that noise that dawns with you while you spend a few days in Pontevedra? Pontevedra smells of the sea, tastes of salt and sounds like the litany of seagull squawks. The towns and villages of Pontevedra are a bit of everything: they are Romanesque history, like the one you will find when you enter the cathedral of Tui; they are heir traces of megaliths, dolmens and petroglyphs, like the menhir of Currás in the town of Marín or the pedrafita (wedged stone) of Marco Carreiro, in Cuntis. There are also Celtic forts, such as Santa Tegra, on the top of a hill above A Guarda, overlooking the beautiful estuary where the Miño and the Atlantic converge. But you are not in a place trapped in the past: the province keeps looking to the future with urban projects that inspire other cities around the world. That's why in Pontevedra you won't need a car at all. The capital is the precursor of the "15-minute city", a city model that opted to ban road traffic more than two decades ago. On the other side of the estuary, Vigo, the most populous city in the province, wakes up as the cosmopolitan city it is: a perfect blend of industry, commercial port, natural spaces and cultural life. What do you really need to find out? The Casco Vello, originally a seafaring area, is now reliving its golden years. Here, amidst the beers and toasts, you can enjoy the freshly caught seafood sold at the fish market every morning. Are you coming to the "rúa das ostras"? It will become your favourite street, promise. Vigo overlooks an ocean where you can find treasures such as the Cíes Islands, part of the Marine-Land National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia. Together with Ons, they make up the paradises of Pontevedra, with crystal clear waters, fine white sand and protected flora and fauna, culminating in a rich and diverse seabed. Paradise on Earth. In addition, the catamaran ride will be the children's favourite part of the trip. Will you get lucky and see a dolphin playing in the wake of the boat? One recommendation: don't lose sight of the sea. The paradise of the islands will leave you speechless... and tired. Let us pamper you in our hotels: Sercotel Bahía de Vigo, a city classic overlooking the seafront promenade; and Sercotel Hotel Tres Luces, located right in the commercial centre.

Sercotel Tres Luces
Travelling to Vigo, whether for business or pleasure, and staying at our Sercotel Tres Luces Hotel makes perfect sense if you are one of those who prioritise location when making a reservation. We are located in the city centre, in the business district of the city, and in an easily accessible area. It makes sense, therefore, that you will choose us when you visit the town for work. Although, to be honest, we know that our wide range of event rooms for all kinds of meetings and events will also have played a part in your decision.
But don't let all this confuse you: our Hotel Sercotel Tres Luces is also a headquarters for tourists. You'll come here attracted by its unbeatable location, of course, but you'll end up staying for everything we have to offer. Because yes, at this 3-star hotel we know that not all trips are the same and that every guest is different. Therefore, we try to adapt as much as possible to the preferences you have and what you need at any given moment.
Our mission is made easier by the 72 rooms we have available and the different categories they come in: from the classic hotel rooms (with private bed and bathroom) to studio rooms and apartments for those who want to feel literally at home. Yes, they include a kitchen and terrace. At the Tres Luces Hotel in Vigo we have developed a sixth sense. It helps us to anticipate the needs that may arise at any time during your stay. For example, do you fancy a bite to eat but don't want to leave the hotel? Come and visit our restaurant. We serve you the best of Galician cuisine on your plate.
As you know, we are in Galicia. Here, fine dining is what we do. From early morning too. It is not for nothing that at our hotel we like to start the morning with a buffet breakfast, one of those big, hearty breakfasts. Wherever you look, everything will be tempting. Sit down, order a coffee and take your time. We don't want you to get too full, because Vigo has a lot to offer you. Of course, if you happen to be on one of those grey days when you feel like staying indoors, you can drop by our games room. And no, we won't be the ones to encourage you to leave, but we don't want you to miss out on anything our land has to offer. So, go to our car park, take your vehicle and set off to discover the area. If you have come here by public transport, ask at reception: we have a car rental service. Do we confirm that we are that hotel that has it all? We do.

Of forts and paradisiacal islands
The idyllic inland Pontevedra
The interior of the province has no reason to envy the coast. It is home to natural landscapes, delicious cooking and those mountains where ancestral traditions, such as the "a rapa das bestas" of Sabucedo, are maintained generation after generation.
One of the most spectacular routes, perfect for the whole family, is that of the mills of the Barosa river, a tour of these constructions, which today, covered in moss, lichen and ferns, are pure magic. It will be like walking through a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
How to complete such a magical journey? Come and discover Lalín, where the Feira do cocido is held every year. Yes, we know, Pontevedra will become your favourite province.
Do you like coastal road trips? It begins in the north of the province with the Punta Cabalo lighthouse, in Illa de Arousa. Afterwards, we recommend that you head for the lighthouse at Cabo Home and pass by Cabo Silleiro. It is in Baiona, very close to the old military battery of the same name.
Finally, we encourage you to go to A Guarda. It is true that it is not the most beautiful, but it is the last one before Portugal, and that always tastes like a climax.
