Saint-Jacques de Compostela with its Cathedral and its historic center is the first step in Galicia before reaching the beautiful town of Pontevedra and explore the Camellia Road and twelve pazos (Spanish mansions).
Camellias, mystical flowers which arrived from the Orient with the Portuguese, have become symbols of Galicia with its 8000 varieties grown in botanical gardens.
In this bucolic universe, where they unite to the roses and to the vineyards, old mansions open their doors to visitors (Pazo de Rubianes, Pazo Baión et Pazo de Oca).
