Pontevedra Unveiled (walking tour)

Pontevedra Unveiled (walking tour)

Join us in an exploration of the globally acclaimed city of Pontevedra!

Famous for its rich heritage, but also for the many prizes it has been collecting in recent years owing to its revolutionary urban renovation, the quaint capital of the Rias Baixas region is a must.

This walking tour looks like this:
- We'll see the iconic Peregrina church and cross the threshold of the medieval walls.
- We’ll venture into the second largest old town of Galicia, going back in time through the narrow cobblestone streets and a myriad of squares.
- We’ll get to the ancient stone bridge which gives name to the city.
- We’ll visit what’s left of the medieval walls and some remarkable monuments, returning to the city centre via the old Town Hall and 19thC mansions.

And more :)

PS. Bookings will be confirmed by us personally as soon as humanly possible.
