CASIÑAS MARIÑEIRAS

ACTIVITIES

Our houses are surrounded by a sea of possibilities.

Bike rides through the village

Cycling in Portosín is a pleasure. Enjoy the contemplation of the quiet life of a fishing village, visit the marina and fishing port and, by the way, observe all kinds of seabirds that lately visit us, such as cormorants, herons and egrets.
If you feel like something more intense, there are several BTT routes that are a wonder, such as the Castro de Baroña Route and Monte Enxa.

SEA Tourism

Turismo marinero

Portosín is one of the most important purse seine fishing ports in Europe. Every season, tons of oily fish leave its fish markets, which are distributed throughout the peninsule and part of the continent.
“Azul de Portosín” is its trademark and nothing as spectacular as seeing fishing boats arrive surrounded by a cloud of seagulls and the disembarkation in charge of the port stevedores.
Visiting the place where the “redeiras” work by assembling and sewing the nets is another experience you can’t miss. It is a traditionally feminine trade and one that has remained almost unchanged up to the present day.
Other possibilities : Museo Marea and Museo do Mar de Noia

Walks through the villages of Portosín

The villages surrounding Portosín, A Silva, Beneso and Balcunqueiro, are the origin of the population nucleus that would develop more intensely from 1812 with the industrialization of the estuary. Until then, people preferred to live in high areas sheltered from the sea. Walking through these villages is like looking into the history of their inhabitants; the views over the estuary are impressive.
