Rías Baixas Day Trip

Your adventure begins at the scheduled meeting point on Rúa dos Bautizados in Santiago de Compostela, as we head towards Pontevedra, the provincial capital.

We will embark on a guided exploration of Pontevedra’s historic center, recognized as one of Galicia's best-preserved areas. As you navigate through its Medieval architectural wonders, the Gothic remains of the Convent of Santo Domingo will surely catch your attention. Be prepared to appreciate the Renaissance elements reflected in landmarks such as the stunning Praza da Ferraría and the Basilica of Santa María a Maior.

After our visit to Pontevedra, we will continue to the port in the nearby village of Combarro, where our boat awaits. Setting sail across the Ría de Pontevedra, you'll be surrounded by vibrant green landscapes and the iconic Tambo Island, with its prominent eucalyptus trees visible from the water. This delightful boat trip will include a wine tasting accompanied by mussels, a celebrated local delicacy.

Once we return to Combarro, you will have approximately 2 hours of free time to enjoy lunch in this charming town. Later in the afternoon, we will proceed to the Chapel of the Virgen de la Lanzada, where you can admire breathtaking panoramic views of the longest beach in the Rías Baixas, sure to leave a lasting impression.

To conclude your day, we will stroll through Cambados, a coastal town known for its association with Albariño wine. Here, you can explore the architectural features of the Igrexa de San Bieito church and the Pazo de Fefiñáns, a historic 16th-century palace steeped in fascinating tales.

After this enriching day filled with exploration, we will return from Cambados to Santiago, arriving approximately 10 hours after departure.
