There’s plenty to see before the sun sets and you go for an evening stroll through the port. Embrace your inner Indiana Jones and head to Castro de Dorró, an old fortified settlement that dates back to the Iron Age. Afterwards, make sure you don’t miss the burial monuments and the late Neolithic tombs that can be found in Chan da Gorita.
