Camellia gardens in Pontevedra
Head for the Rías Baixas in Galicia, and you’re sure to come across the camellias. These exotic flowers found a home in this corner of Spain, and have taken root all over the province of Pontevedra. During the winter months you’ll be able to follow a route that takes in different gardens where the camellias are in flower. You could visit various pazos - typical Galician manor houses - suchas the Pazo de Rubianes (Vilagarcia de Arousa), the Pazo de Gandarón, or the Pazo de Oca, which is known as the Galician Versailles. But one thing not to be missed on your trip is a visit to the medieval Soutomaior Castle.
