Where to stay in Valdoviño
Valdoviño is a small coastal town, so your best bet is to stay close to the town centre, where you'll be within easy reach of the fair and the local beaches. Town Centre gives you a good base for everything.
If you prefer somewhere with a bit more character, the area around Frouxeira lagoon and the coast has a handful of rural guesthouses and small hotels that suit a relaxed Galician stay. Frouxeira is worth checking for availability, especially if you're visiting in summer when the whole area gets busy.
