Stroll through the historic quarter
Once you’ve booked your accommodation – you can check out the wide range of hotels in Vilanova de Arousa on our website – we recommend spending your first day exploring the town centre. A leisurely stroll through the narrow streets of the historic quarter will allow you to relax and visit places that were once frequented by literary greats.
For culture lovers, the Valle-Inclán House Museum is a must. It is also an ideal place to visit, especially if you want to shelter from the rain. Its extensive museum collection invites you to explore the life and work of this great writer, as well as transporting you back to the late 19th century through the recreation of a typical stately home of the period.
If you fancy a spot of shopping, take advantage of the extensive network of local shops in Vilanova Centro. In the town, you will find shops selling all kinds of products that are sure to catch your eye with their uniqueness and variety. You might even find a bargain or two to brighten up your day.
Rain or shine, you must enjoy the sea views from both the Maritime Station and the beaches of As Sinas and O Terrón. If the weather is good, we recommend a leisurely stroll or even sitting on one of the sandy beaches enjoying the panoramic view of the horizon dotted with the silhouettes of mussel rafts.
Charming dinner
And since we’re talking about gastronomy, one of the essential things to do in Vilanova de Arousa is to delight your palate with the fine cuisine of our restaurants.
Whether you want to enjoy a romantic evening with sea views while you dine or are looking for a more special gastronomic experience, in Vilanova de Arousa you will find options for all tastes and budgets that will allow you to celebrate a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day.

Wine tourism experience
For Valentine’s Day itself, we suggest a wine tourism plan. In Vilanova de Arousa, you will find three wineries associated with the Rías Baixas Wine Route. What does this mean? It means that you can enjoy food and wine while learning about the process of making wines covered by the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin.
The three wineries located in our municipality, Pazo Baión, Bodegas Granbazán and Gran Vinum, offer guided tours of their facilities, although you must book in advance. These tours are usually complemented by a guided tasting of their products, as well as other offerings such as pairing lunches. We also recommend that you check with them, as they may offer special packages for special dates such as these, so take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy unique, quality experiences as a couple.
Exceptional views
And to round off your experience in Vilanova de Arousa, you cannot leave without enjoying the incredible views from our viewpoints. Even if it rains, they still have their charm and are well worth a stop at any of them.
From both the Cruz de Lobeira and Faro das Lúas viewpoints, you can marvel at spectacular panoramic views of the Arousa estuary and the interior of the Salnés Valley (the region where Vilanova de Arousa is located). These are perfect spots to immortalise an unforgettable getaway in our municipality.
