Sanxenxo (Galician:; Spanish: Sangenjo) is a municipality in Galicia, Spain, in the province of Pontevedra.
It is situated in the southern part of the O Salnés region 15 kilometres west of the city of Pontevedra and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, and the estuaries of Pontevedra and Arousa. The municipality has a population of 17,347 inhabitants (INE 2019).
A popular tourism destination, Sanxenxo is a favorite resort for Spanish public figures such as Mariano Rajoy (former Prime Minister of Spain) and Amancio Ortega (co-founder of the Inditex group).
The Volvo Ocean Race was held in the town in 2005–2006. The race organisation and the competing teams chose Sanxenxo as their base in Spain. An In Port race took place in Sanxenxo on November 5. It gave spectators a chance to see the race boats at close quarters.
The 2013 edition of the Tour of Spain was held in the Rías Baixas, Galicia, between August 24 to September 14. Sanxenxo was the goal in the first stage of La Vuelta 2013 that began in Vilanova de Arousa in a Batea, a wooden platform out in the water used for farming of mussels, oysters and scallops.

What people eat in Galicia when they eat well.
Boiled in a copper pot, with paprika, coarse salt and oil; best on fair day.
Atlantic white from the Rías Baixas: fresh, saline and made for seafood.
Filled with marinated pork, cod or sardines; thin pastry, generous filling, and good cold too.
Mild, creamy and unmistakably shaped; for dessert with quince paste.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
Market day: Monday and Thursday, 9:00 to 14:00
