The Pedrón
Beneath the altar of the Church of Santiago in Padrón lies the Pedrón — the stone to which the boat was said to be moored, and the origin of the town's name.
Peppers and poetry
Padrón gives its name to pimientos de Padrón, small green peppers fried in olive oil and salt — most are mild, a few are fiery. The town is also linked to the Galician poet Rosalía de Castro, whose house is a museum.
