Description:
Despite being home to the large tourist resort of Sanxenxo, the busy port of Marin and the capital of Galicia - Pontevedra, the feel of this Ria is much quieter than that of its immediate neighbours. It is protected by Isla Ons and Isla Onza, part of the Atlantic Islands National Park.
Position: 42° 21.58'N, 08° 50.42'W (entrance to Ria)

ORCAS IN RIA DE AROUSA
See news item: https://www.noonsite.com/news/spain-galicia-orca-take-advantage-of-coastal-octopus-and-enter-rias/
As a quick update after speaking with Salvamento Maritimo de Finisterre, who are responsible for the Vilagarcia/Ria de Arousa area, their advice for yachts in the area is to follow all the recommended guidelines around orca, but to continue movement as normal. There are no sailing bans in place or port closures. Listen out on VHF Channel 16 at all times for announcements re. the location and activity of orca in the area, as the situation is continually changing.

The last reported interaction with a yacht was on 1 September in the Ria de Arousa.
Combarro is indeed a lovely village, we anchored in front of the marina, well protected, plenty of space. But the marina (Gold Anchor!)is not very hospitable:
“Do you have Camping Gaz?” ” Sorry, only for boats in the marina”
“Can we leave our tender here?” “Sorry, only for members”.
But do go there to visit Combarro. Easy bus to Pontevedra
