No-one questions the fact that Sanxenxo holds the honorary title of tourism capital of the Rías Baixas. Almost joined to Portonovo, both have a young, happening atmosphere of beaches and bar-hopping.
Sanxenxo is one of Galicia's tourism capitals. Its population increases in summer and the large-scale urban development means everything is modern. Before the tourist boom, it was nothing more than a small fishing village, but the constant arrival of outsiders
transformed its appearance totally, as people were drawn by the magnets of its beach and bustling nightlife.
