Day 01
Rías Baixas Route with Winery, Coastal Villages and Cruise
- Visit the enchanting Río Barosa Natural Park, home to laurel, chestnut, and oak trees, crossed by the Agra River and several waterfalls, not to mention the spectacular mills built in the 12th century. This oasis of peace is perfect for relaxing, spending time in tranquillity, and feeling the sensations that true Galicia can give you: rural, calm, and away from aggressive tourism.
- Next, enjoy an eno-gastronomic tour in an Albariño winery. Walk among the vineyards of a very prestigious Albariño, one of the most important wines of the Rías Baixas and among the best in the world. It is sold and served throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States. You will have the opportunity to get to know the production of this excellent wine up close, and the experience also includes a tasting of three wines from the Rías Baixas appellation in good company.
- Continue to the Hermitage of Lanzada Beach. Established in the 9th century, this mystical place undoubtedly deserves to be explored in depth, accompanied by a beautiful walk. Its importance is linked to its history, but its location must also be taken into account, on the shores of one of the most admirable beaches in Galicia. We also cannot forget that this temple welcomes and offers some popular rituals in the moonlight, making it even more unique.
- Cross part of the Bay of Poio to reach the picturesque little town of Combarro, one of the most beautiful in Spain, located on the banks of the Ría de Pontevedra. Its beauty comes from the giant rock on which it is built, the granaries that surround it, the houses overlooking the sea, and several stone crosses typical of Galicia, called "Cruceiros", found throughout the site. Walking through the characteristic streets and squares of this place, you can take an authentic journey through time and visit an area of great ecological value.
- Head to A Toxa Island. This relaxing island, famous for producing soap and for its thermal waters, is part of the "Red Natura 2000". Here, you can find a small museum of the old soap factory and a chapel completely covered in shells.
- Finally, enjoy a cruise with Albariño wine, mussels, drinks, and a chupito. This journey over the sea allows you to admire the production of mussels, oysters, and scallops directly.
- Make different stops to contemplate the water troughs and then taste steamed mussels in large quantities, accompanied by one of the best local Albariño wines, Condes de Albarei, and shots of Orujo Cream.
