Rias Baixas Trip

Rias Baixas Trip

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up in Plaza de Abastos in Portonovo where we board a minibus and head to the town of Pontevedra, an essential visit to the Rías Baixas.

We'll talk about the history and geography of the area while we explore the historical center of Pontevedra. We will see the Church of the Virgen Peregrina, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, check out the ruins of the Convent of Santo Domingo, the beautiful gardens of Plaza de la Ferrería, and much more.

The next stop is the tiny fishing village of Combarro, where we'll discover its picturesque cobbled streets, magnificent granite crosses, and the numerous hórreos (raised granaries) on its coast. You'll also find out why these old farmhouses are located so close to the sea.

Then we head north to visit the island of Toxa. Famous for its soap production, this stretch of land is home to a wonderful chapel decorated with thousands of shells!

From the island of La Toxa, we'll set sail on a pleasant boat trip along the Arousa estuary. We'll see up close how they work on the rafts to hunt for the most delicious mussels. We'll also enjoy a tasting session on board accompanied by a glass of wine.

Once the boat trip is over, we'll leave you an hour and a half of free time so that you can eat in O Grove. Of course, we won't say goodbye without first making a stop in Sanjenjo to visit a winery with a wine tasting included!

We'll finish the excursion to the Rías Baixas arriving at Portonovo, after nine and a half hours of exploring.
