Cambados is a small seaside town about 60 km south west of Santiago de Compostela, and whilst there is not much to do in the town it is a good base for exploring the Rias Baixas. The parador is situated across the road from the promenade at the edge of the town. The parador is of recent construction and well furnished and comfortable. We had a standard double room on the first floor which overlooked the internal courtyard. The room was of a good 4 star standard, with bed two armchairs and digital TV. The room was nice and quiet which reflects the town which is a bit sleepy. Breakfast was buffet style with a good array of fruit , breads, cereals, and cakes. Bit limited on the hot side, but this is quite normal for Spain. As well as a la carte, there is an option to choose " marked dishes" on the menu and have 3 courses for 27 euros. Whilst there is a good choice of starters, their main courses consist of just 4 dishes- hake and sea bass or duck and steak. I chose the hake which was tiny, my wife had the seabass which was full of bones and dry. My first choice for dessert was not available as they had run out. My second choice involved mango which came having been grilled. It tasted of a fatty dirty grill and was totally inedible. I reported this to the maitre d, but apart from an offer of yet another dessert nothing happened. The restaurant was half empty and having sampled the fare it did not come as a surprise. There are a number of local restaurants in the Fefines area about 300m from the hotel which were packed when we passed and which I would suggest were likely to be a better bet. Would I stay again - yes but only for B & B.
