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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
