Parador de Cambados

The Pazo de Bazán, facing the estuary

The Parador de Cambados occupies the former Pazo de Bazán, a manor house on the paseo de la Calzada, the town's seafront promenade, facing the Arousa estuary. It opened as a parador in 1966 and was renovated in 2002. It keeps the pazo's inner courtyard and gallery, and is surrounded by a garden. It is a four-star, and Turismo de Galicia recognises it with the Tourist Quality seal.

From the door, Cambados' old town begins a few steps away: the walk through the pazos and San Sadurniño can be done entirely on foot, and the Fefiñanes Palace, with its winery and albariño tasting, is a few minutes along the promenade.

The rooms and what the house has

The rooms are bright, with air conditioning, minibar, television, telephone, safe and hairdryer, and wifi throughout. There is a lift. In the garden, the pool opens in season and there is a tennis court. Parking is outdoors and free. There is a laundry service, and English, French and German are spoken at reception.

The parador also has four function rooms (Bazán, Barlovento, Lameira and a boardroom), for meetings and celebrations.

Eating in the pazo

The restaurant cooks fish and shellfish from the estuaries, empanadas, pulpo á feira and caldo gallego, with albariño from the area. There is also a café-bar and a terrace in the garden. If you are looking for a special meal elsewhere, Yayo Daporta, with a Michelin star, is a few minutes' walk through the centre.

By the Salnés expressway

Cambados is about 65 km from Santiago and 55 from Vigo. From the AP-9, you arrive by the Salnés expressway. Mind the dates: Paradores announces the closure of the parador from 1 November 2027 to 31 March 2028.

August and albariño

On the first Sunday in August the Albariño Festival is held, with winery stalls in the streets: if you go those days, book well ahead. Outside summer, bear in mind that the pool is seasonal.
