Let yourself be enchanted by the beautiful Rías Baixas on this excursion from Santiago de Compostela. You'll enjoy a boat trip on the Pontevedra Estuary and a tasting of local wine and mussels.
Rías Baixas Day Trip
After meeting up at the indicated time on Rúa dos Bautizados in Santiago de Compostela, we'll set off on our route towards Pontevedra, the capital of the province of the same name.
We'll embark on a guided tour of the historic centre of Pontevedra, known for its preserved Medieval monumental complex, including the Gothic ruins of the Convent of Santo Domingo and the Renaissance Praza da Ferraría and the Basilica of Santa María a Maior.
Next, we will head to the port of Combarro, where we will take a boat trip across the Ría de Pontevedra, passing lush green coastal landscapes and Tambo Island. During the cruise, we will enjoy a wine tasting with mussels.
After docking back in Combarro, you'll have around 2 hours of free time for lunch. In the afternoon, we'll visit the Chapel of the Virgen de la Lanzada for views of the longest beach of the Rías Baixas.
We will conclude with a walking tour of Cambados, capital of Albariño wine, to appreciate the Igrexa de San Bieito church and the Pazo de Fefiñáns, a 16th-century palace.
After the day of sightseeing, we will return from Cambados to Santiago, arriving back approximately 10 hours after the start time.
