Where to stay in Sanxenxo
Staying right in Sanxenxo puts you closest to the action, and Sanxenxo Town Centre has plenty of options within easy walking distance of Portonovo. The two towns sit right next to each other along the coast, so you won't need a car to get to the market.
If you want something more specific, Hotel Rotilio is a well-regarded choice that keeps you close to the seafront and the local street scene. Gran Hotel La Toja is worth considering if you're happy to splash out a little more for a comfortable base on this stretch of the Galician coast.
