The village of Vilanova is a small settlement belonging to the parish of San Xoán de Camba, within the municipality of Rodeiro. It represents the typical rural landscape of inland Galicia, with a small population and the intimate, peaceful character characteristic of traditional Galician villages.
Vilanova is located in a quiet elevated area that forms part of the typical geography of this region: a landscape of rolling hills, meadows and forested areas that characterises much of the interior of the province of Pontevedra. Although it does not contain major monuments, the village forms part of the ethnographic heritage of the municipality, where the continuity of rural traditions and the connection with agricultural activity can still be perceived.
The proximity of Vilanova to the route of the Winter Way of the Camino de Santiago means that this small village is integrated into a historic network of routes that have crossed the region for centuries. Walking around the surroundings of Vilanova offers an opportunity to experience the essence of rural Galicia, in a peaceful landscape where the history of the roads and traditional life are still present.
