Itinerary
1. This mystical place, established in the 9th century, certainly deserves to be known in depth, accompanied by a nice walk. Its importance is not only related to its history, but its location must be taken into account, that is, on the shores of one of the most admirable beaches in Galicia. In all this, we cannot absolutely forget that this temple hosts and offers definitely popular moonlight rituals, which makes it even more unique in its kind.
2. To arrive in this picturesque town, one of the most beautiful in Spain, located on the banks of the Ría de Pontevedra, we will cross part of the bay of Poio. All this beauty is conferred on it by a giant rock on which it is built, by the granaries with which it is surrounded, by the houses that overlook the sea and by several typical Galician stone crosses, called "Cruceiros", which are on the site. Walking through the characteristic streets and squares of this place, therefore, one has the possibility of making a true and authentic journey through time, as well as visiting an area of great ecological value.
3. This relaxing island, famous for its soap production and its thermal waters, is located in an area called « Red Natura 2000 », but it does not end here: we can find a small museum of the old soap factory and a fully covered chapel of shells.
4. A tour over the sea, through which you can admire and face directly with the production of mussels, oysters and scallops; we will make different stops to be able to contemplate the watering holes and then be able to taste steamed mussels in large quantity accompanied by one of the best local wines and a good shot of Creme de Orujo. After finishing the boat tour, you will have approximately 90 minutes for lunch on your own, enjoying the famous Galician gastronomy in the heart of O Grove, where you will find a wide variety of restaurants and culinary options for all tastes.
5. We will visit a typical wine cellar of the area called Albariño wine. This stop gives us the opportunity to taste and try an Albariño wine.
6. Visit the charming village of Cambados, famous for being the heart of Albariño wine production. Stroll through its historic streets, admire its elegant stately homes and picturesque squares, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the place.
