Spain's 56 Most Breathtaking Beachside Towns Worth A Visit

33. A Guarda, Galicia: Coastal Culture at the Edge of Spain

At the very southwestern tip of Galicia, A Guarda sits where the River Miño meets the Atlantic. Known for its Celtic hillfort, Santa Trega, the town offers sweeping views of Portugal just across the river. But it's the seafood that steals the show—lobster, goose barnacles, and langoustines straight from the ocean. The harbor is peaceful, framed by colorful houses and dramatic granite outcrops. A Guarda feels untouched, rooted in local rhythms and fierce natural beauty. It’s a border town that doesn’t feel divided—just full of depth and character.
