In the first decades of the XX century, Vilagarcía experienced a tourist heyday that turned it into a small Galician “San Sebastián”. Recently, the city has been able to recover that boom trough public and private initiatives, such as the regeneration of the beach, the construction of the seaside promenade, the construction of new hotels, the setting-up of modern catering establishments or the pedestrianization of some areas of the town centre. This has lead to a bigger affluence of visitors and the development of new infrastructures to satisfy their demands. The deep tourist tradition and the hospitality of Vilagarcía inhabitants make the stay at the town a pleasant experience that many people repeat year after year.

As the most populated council in O Salnés, Vilagarcía bring together an important and varied lodging offer that ranges from a four-star hotel in a historical building to a second category camping, and from hotels beside the sea or in the town centre to an economic guest house.

Besides the suggestions that are presented in this guide, it is possible to obtain additional information in the local Tourism Office, located in the park of O Cavadelo, or in the Xunta de Galicia Tourism Office (Av. Juan Carlos I, 37).
