We'll meet up 10 minutes before the scheduled time in front of the Parador Nacional de Turismo and set off on our guided walking tour of Monforte de Lemos, the capital of the Ribeira Sacra.

After admiring panoramic views of the Lemos Valley and learning about this town in Lugo, which was founded in 1104, we'll walk around the exterior of the Monte de San Vicente monumental complex. We'll see the County Palace, the Church of San Vicente del Pino, the castle and its keep from the outside, and the cloisters of the Monastery of San Vicente del Pino.

Our tour will then cover the medieval village, where we'll spot the Campillo de la Virgen, the wall, and its three gates. We'll also pass through the falagueira, the street on which the medieval burgh is structured, and discover the remains of the Jewish quarter, part of the Network of Spanish Jewish Quarters.

Next, we'll visit the Dominican Convent, the Church of A Régoa, the old bridge, and the exterior of the Convent of the Poor Clares.

Finally, we'll pass by the Ribeira Sacra Wine Centre until we reach the Plaza de España. Our guided tour of Monforte de Lemos will conclude after 2 hours of history and architecture.
