Cambados is a town in the province of Pontevedra, in the autonomous community of Galicia, in Spain. It covers 23.48 sq km (9.07 sq mi) and has a population of 14,000 people (2012 estimate).

Cambados is a fishing town. Most of its inhabitants are either fishermen or work in the fish industry. As such the town is famous for its seafood. There are of course times when the people stop their work to celebrate festivals. The biggest of them is the Festa do Albariño, held between the end of July and the beginning of August.

Cambados is also famous for its white wine called Albariño. It is often called the "wine of the sea" because the coastal soil gives the wine its acidity.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
