What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Combarro's picturesque charm, particularly its iconic waterfront hórreos and historic cobblestone streets. Many find it a step back in time, offering beautiful views and a unique atmosphere. However, parking can be a significant challenge, and the village gets extremely crowded, especially on weekends and during summer.
"These cool houses are incredibly beautiful and cute. I think they are very good build from amazing materials. I think they use it for fish and hanging up garments right now. There are plenty of shops and restaurants around the beautiful hórreos. Parking is difficult. The best place is at the beginning of the port."

"Beautiful little town, we came early in the day in June and there weren't many people, but you get the sense that it does get quite busy. The whole town feels like a postcard from the past, complete with peregrinos."

"Pretty village in a beautiful position on the estuary. Extremely busy on a Sunday in August. We parked near the park to the east of town (where campavans park) and walked 10 minutes back along a pretty back road."
