Where to stay in Palmeira
Palmeira is a small fishing village, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to stay in nearby Ribeira, the larger town just across the estuary, where you'll find plenty of hotels and easy access back into Palmeira for the markets.
If you prefer to be closer to the water and the local atmosphere, look for guesthouses or rural stays along the Ría de Arousa coast, which put you within a short drive of everything worth seeing in the area.
