		The many prehistoric cave engravings in the countryside surrounding the town of Pontevedra are proof of its ancient origins; a primitive settlement situated at the foot of the river of the same name.

		The Museo de Pontevedra has a special place in the cultural life of the town, as it houses various art and archaeological collections, mainly from Galicia but covering all periods of history, as well as a superb library and archive.

	GALICIA GUIDE \| Pontevedra History \| Spain
		Pontevedra is both a province and a provincial capital with a long, but sometimes questionable history.
		Pontevedra was recognized in 1169 by King Ferdinand (II), who bestowed "charter" on the city, thereby giving it rights to trade as Galicia’s foremost port and to engage in the preparation and sale of fish related products.
		On approaching Pontevedra, on one of the main routes, you apparently pass a large fish preparation/processing plant (I believe it produces fish oil) and the odour is apparently far from appealing.
