Ponteareas (in Galician) or Puenteareas (in Spanish?) is a municipality in Galicia, Spain in the province of Pontevedra.
It is located on the Tui-Santiago de Compostella railway and on the river Tea, a right-hand tributary of the Mio. It is the chief town of a fertile hilly region, which produces wine, grain and fruit, and contains many cattle farms. The industries of the town itself are porcelain manufactures, tanning and distilling. Close by are the ruins of the castle of Villa Sobroso, which played an important part in the medieval civil wars. While it is located in the nearby town, Mondariz-Balneario, it is owned by the council of Ponteareas.
