De #Vuelta in #Spanje nadert zijn einde vandaag de 19e etappe over 180.5 KM van Salvaterra do Miño naar Cangas do Morrazo. Salvaterra de Miño has a strategic position in the South of the Province of Pontevedra. The Miño River bathes its land, while simultaneously joining it and separating it from Portugal. It is the historical capital of the County, an ancient town and an ambassador for County Wine that falls under the appellation of origin Rias Baixas, one of the main sources of economic wealth for the local economy. It is also the wine that the Fiesta del Vino del Condado (County Wine Fiesta) is dedicated to, this year in its 55th edition. The Romans left evidence of their time here, Queen Doña Urraca reigned our lands, Salvaterra formed part of Portugal in the 17th century – all historic events that enriched our history and culture. Our town has a very important Cultural Heritage, transepts, petos de animas, Portal da Inquisicion, Recinto Amurallado (Walled Enclosure), Casa del Conde (Count’s House), the Doña Urraca Castle, Pazos, Puente Medieval (Medieval Bridge)… that fill our territory with charm and, along with the Fillaboa Island, A Canuda Public Park and river walks, make our municipality a wonderful place to enjoy both history and nature
