Rias Baixas Tour
At the scheduled time, we'll meet up in the Capilla San Roque square to begin a fantastic guided tour of the historic center of Pontevedra.
During the walking tour, we'll discover the origins of this city and contemplate the beautiful exteriors of some of its important buildings, such as the Church of the Virgen Peregrina or the ruins of the Convent of Santo Domingo. Afterward, we'll travel by minibus towards the villages of the Rías Baixas.
The first stop will be in the idyllic fishing town of Combarro. The historic center here has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. As we stroll through its narrow streets, you'll be surprised by the more than 50 hórreos (raised granaries) near the coast while we reveal their fascinating history.
After visiting Combarro, a boat will be waiting to take us on a trip along the Arousa estuary. During the boat trip, we'll admire the stunning Galician coast and the various mussel farms that extend along the Rias Baixas. We'll discover all the secrets of these marine molluscs and even get to taste them on board the boat, accompanied by a glass of fine wine.
We'll then return to the dock in Combarro, and from here we'll head to the island of Toxa. Here we can find the famous Capilla de las Conchas chapel, whose façade has been decorated with thousands of scallops.
Next, we'll make our way to O Grove where you'll have 1 hour 30 minutes to eat some lunch. Of course, before we say goodbye, we'll first make a stop in Sanjenjo to visit a winery with a wine tasting included!
Finally, we'll make our way back to Pontevedra, arriving around 6:30 pm.
