Vilagarcía de Arousa

Vilagarcía de Arousa extends along the southern part of Ría de Arousa, featuring a commercial port covering 566,874 square meters at sea level.

The municipality formed on March 1, 1913, through the unification of three separate entities: Carril, Vilaxoán, and Vilagarcía, establishing a stronger administrative structure.

The Festival of San Roque marks the calendar in August with religious ceremonies and the Festa da Auga, where participants engage in water activities.

The FEXDEGA exhibition center serves as one of the largest conference facilities in Galicia, supporting regional trade and business activities.

The area maintains two Blue Flag beaches, A Concha and Compostela, while offering access to the historical Route of Father Sarmiento from 1745.
