A Guarda, Coastal municipality in Pontevedra, Spain
The municipality stretches along the southwestern tip of Galicia where the Mino River meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating a natural border with Portugal.
Archaeological findings on Monte Santa Tegra reveal settlements dating back to 10,000 BC, with remnants of military structures and stone fortifications still visible today.
The town center features the Parish Church of Santa María, Portuguese-style houses, and numerous Casas Indianas built by returning emigrants during the 19th century.
Visitors can reach A Guarda via the PO-552 or AG-57 roads, connecting to the AP-9 toll road with a journey time of under one hour from Pontevedra.
The Monte Santa Tegra archaeological site contains ancient petroglyphs and dwelling remains, offering views of three different territories: Galicia, Portugal, and the Atlantic Ocean.
