Pontevedra is a
province in the southwestern part of the
autonomous community of
Galicia,
Spain. It is bordered by the provinces of
A Coruña,
Lugo, and
Ourense, and by
Portugal and the
Atlantic Ocean. Much of the
Rías Baixas Denominación de Origen (DO) is located in the province. The province similarly shares the Parque Nacional das Illas Atlánticas de Galicia national park with neighbouring
A Coruña province. Its population is 919,934 (2002), of which no more than 8% live in the capital, the city of
Pontevedra. Unusually, therefore, the province's capital is not its largest city, which is instead the port of
Vigo with a population of 300,000. There are 62 municipalities in the province.
