Your route ends in Baiona, a town filled with history. Its origins dating back to the Roman era, although the most notable date in its history is 1 March 1493; this day marked the arrival of one of Columbus’ ships,  the caraval known as the Pinta, and Baiona became the first town in Europe to receive news of the discovery of America. The Parador enjoys a prime position on a private promontory, and from here you can explore the town’s highlights including Sta. Maria de Baiona Church; Monterreal Fortress (which surrounds the Parador), the Trinidad stone cross; a magnificent old quarter; a seaside esplanade with a very important marina, and, of course, the replica of the Pinta which houses a small museum. The surrounding area also offers a number of very lovely spots such as Mount A Groba, from which the rias of the Rías Baixas region appear as a sober and colorful watercolor, along with Cape Sillero and the nearby Cíes Isles.
