Santiago de Arcade is a parish located in the municipality of Soutomaior, province of Pontevedra.
The construction of its famous church dates back to the end of the 12th century, beginning of the 13th century. But a series of unfortunate alterations have ruined practically all the original Romanesque elements.
The road continues along the coast and, after a few kilometres where there are no vines or grapevines, the grapes once again make their presence felt at the bottom of the Vigo estuary, in the area of Arcade. This is a town on the left bank of the Verdugo River and famous for its delicious oysters.
3 things to see in Arcade
1. Pontesampaio Medieval Bridge: Although the origin of the construction is Roman, it does not preserve elements from that period. The current structure dates back to the Middle Ages, where the famous battle of Ponte Sampaio was fought against the French in 1809.
2. Castelo de Soutomaior: This architectural complex, half medieval fortress, half 19th century neo-Gothic palace, is made up of two towers joined by a residential building and a parade ground, surrounded by a double wall. It was conceived as a fortified military and defensive building until the 15th century.
3. Cesantes Beach: Also known as Playa de la Punta, this is a long beach almost two and a half kilometres long and a width that varies depending on the tide. There is an area where you can go with your dog without any rules preventing you from doing so. This dog area is located just in front of San Simón Island, to the left of the Vigo estuary.
