Savour a landscape of high mountains, quiet valleys and rivers that culminate in the Miño. A fertile land in which its inhabitants have maintained customs and activities closely linked to nature, such as lamprey fishing, vine cultivation, the exploitation of wood from the forests or the transformation of beeswax.

We invite you to relive this tradition by visiting the towns of Arbo, Crecente, A Cañiza and Covelo.

The mountains of A Paradanta give their name to a region of highlands where rivers and abundant streams originate, creating small valleys that end in the Miño river. In Arbo the art of lamprey fishing is still preserved thanks to tradition and the old pesqueiras, constructions in the river that were used to catch lamprey. The region also has a deep-rooted wine-growing tradition, which is currently booming with the improvement of the vineyards. A visit to the Centro de Interpretación do Viño e da Lamprea is a must, as it explains the tradition and history of these two typical products of the locality and, by extension, of the region.

A Paradanta also offers the possibility of discovering other traditional activities, such as the elaboration and transformation of beeswax, which was carried out in artisan workshops, or the wood industry extracted from its forests. The enjoyment of the natural landscapes, through hiking or other sports, is a stimulus for the senses, which we recommend culminating with the tasting of the emblematic products, such as the Bordeaux-style lamprey and the ham from A Cañiza, paired with a good local wine.

Travel through the valley of the river Tea and its tributaries and discover the history and tradition of this land through its museums and landscapes. You will discover the enduring petroglyphs, forts or imposing castles that dominate and control the territory. You will be surprised by the traditions that have been maintained, such as the unique lamprey fishing, the centuries-old spas with curative waters or the excellent local wines.

Taste a region full of contrasts in which the Miño and the Atlantic draw diverse landscapes: from the high mountains of A Grova and O Galiñeiro, the rivers that irrigate the land to the calm estuary that connects the land with the immensity of the ocean. The Miño acts as a natural border between Portugal and the city of Tui, which, since ancient times, has been a strategic city, Episcopal see and treasures a valuable religious heritage.

Travel through the towns of O Rosal, A Guarda, Tomiño and Tui and discover the authenticity and identity of O Baixo Miño, closely linked to the sea and the river Miño. A strategic territory since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the citania of Santa Trega, which dominated the mouth of the river Miño in the Castro and Roman times, or the castles located in essential locations for river control.

But perhaps one of the places with most history in O Baixo Miño is the city of Tui, which in Roman times became an important urban centre and communication hub, as evidenced by the passage of the Roman Via XIX, which ended in Braga (Portugal) crossing the Miño. This communication continued with the well-known international bridge, which joins the two banks of the river and, consequently, establishes an unalterable communication between the city and the Portuguese country. Tui is also an artistic and monumental treasure that exudes religiosity: an episcopal see, which, with its cathedral and important collections of sacred art, manifests ecclesiastical power, but also reflects religious sobriety with austere monasteries, convents or churches in hidden streets and alleys in the old part of the town.

The links between the sea and the countryside are very present in the region, as shown by the Museo do Mar or the Roman salt mines of A Guarda, which claims its seafaring heritage, or the ethnographic museums and the mills, legacies of the peasant exploitation of the fertile valleys.

Discover the breeze, the aroma and the history of the Vigo estuary: pure Atlantic where the unique natural landscape merges with the presence of forts, monasteries and castles that guarded and protected the place from unknown threats coming from the ocean.

The Vigo estuary has also been the scene of active maritime trade, especially strategic on the routes between Europe and America, as well as a calm bay, ideal for shellfish farming.

Immerse yourself in the pure Atlantic by visiting the towns of Oia, Nigrán, Baiona and Redondela. The Vigo estuary is a piece of the Atlantic that penetrates the land and creates nooks and crannies, inlets, bays and anchorages. It is a natural paradise, with beautiful islands such as the Cíes, an area of high ecological value with crystal-clear waters and fine sandy beaches which, thanks to its mountains, protects the estuary from the furious Atlantic storms. The calm sea of the estuary favours the installation of mussel and other shellfish farms, a gastronomic treasure that goes perfectly with the excellent wines of the Rías Baixas DO.

The Vigo estuary is also full of stories. Its strategic position meant that surveillance of the coastline was an essential task in the Iron Age, with the establishment of forts strategically located along the coastline, and also in more recent times, with the construction of the castle of Monterreal, which protects the entrance to the estuary, or the monastery of Oia, a fortified monastery by the sea.

In addition, the Atlantic Ocean was the return journey of daring expeditions and brave sailors. Testimony to this is the House of Navigation in Baiona, which recounts such important historical facts as being the first European place to receive the news of the discovery of America. The estuary was also a gateway for plundering and invasions, such as the famous naval battle of Rande in 1702, in which an Anglo-Dutch expedition sacked the Vigo estuary.

Vigo, a dynamic city where seafaring tradition and industrial and commercial activity coexist, invites you to explore its diverse cultural offerings. Explore the city, stroll through its streets and squares, some quiet and others bustling, and enjoy its architecture and museums, which offer everything from the most avant-garde works to the most traditional objects. In short, discover a true cultural mosaic at your fingertips.

During your stay in Vigo, savour the culture and art of an open, active and attractive city. Vigo fuses its seafaring tradition with its most transformative present, based on industry, the importance of maritime traffic in its busy port and commercial activity. In the field of culture, Vigo also makes the coexistence between its tradition and contemporary artistic creation compatible.

Be passionate about art and visit museums such as the MARCO, a showcase for the most avant-garde artistic creations, or the Museo Municipal de Vigo Quiñones de Léon, which, located in an old manor house, brings you closer to the history of the city and displays a splendid collection of art from the 17th and 18th centuries. Delve into Galician culture at the Laxeiro Foundation, which presents an excellent overview of 20th-century Galician art, and visit the Liste Ethnographic Museum, which brings you closer to the essence of traditional Galician life.

Be sure to wander around the city to discover everything from medieval and Renaissance mansions to emblematic buildings constructed during the second half of the 19th century, a period of great economic prosperity. Seek out the sea breeze and stroll along the estuary, sail between mussel rafts or visit neighbourhoods with a seafaring essence.

Taste the flavour of the Vigo estuary through its museums, heritage and landscapes. Enjoy the great pantry of seafood products and be amazed by Vigo's ancient and deep-rooted seafaring, shellfish and canning traditions. Also discover the importance of surveillance and defence of the estuary in the Middle Ages, with the construction of fortifications to prevent enemy attacks.

Savour the Vigo estuary, smell the sea and salt, and taste the best seafood products, visiting the towns of Vigo and Soutomaior. The exploitation of marine resources is an age-old tradition in Vigo, based on shellfish harvesting and farming, fishing, but also on the tradition of salting and canning. Through its landscapes, heritage and museums, you'll discover the great secrets of the culture of the sea in this land.

The entire Vigo estuary is dotted with heritage that connects us with its seafaring activity and gastronomy: the Galician Museum of the Sea offers an extensive tour of the various marine ecosystems and brings us closer to the deep-rooted culture of the sea, the Iron Age forts reflect an important shellfish farming activity and the Roman-era salt mines show the ancient tradition of the salted fish industries, a gastronomic delicacy already for the Romans. During the 19th century, the canning industries became an important economic driving force, as can be seen in the numerous old factories and the interesting ANFACO Museum of the canning industry.

But the Vigo estuary hides many more stories, such as the importance of its control to prevent incursions from the sea that could break inland, especially during the Middle Ages. For this reason, a castle like Soutomaior Castle was strategic for the surveillance of the territory.

Enter where the sea and the land meet and savour the landscapes of the O Morrazo peninsula, flanked by the Pontevedra and Vigo estuaries. A land where even from the heights of the Domaio mountains you can smell the sea. A land in an exceptional natural environment, where dolmens, petroglyphs and forts coexist with the most deeply-rooted seafaring tradition.

Discover the region of O Morrazo and visit the towns of Moaña, Cangas, Bueu and Marín and their surroundings. The location of the O Morrazo peninsula, between the Pontevedra and Vigo estuaries, gives it a unique position between the sea and the land.

The land is dominated by the mountains of Domaio, which, located in the centre of the peninsula, are evidence of the strategic and symbolic importance that the place had in ancient times. You can discover dolmens, petroglyphs and forts, and even an exceptional Iron Age sanctuary on O Facho hill.

The sea is always present and forms part of the identity of the region, as shown by the deep-rooted seafaring, fishing and canning traditions. Discover it by visiting the interesting Massó Museum, promoted by one of the most important industries in the canning sector, the old whalers or the industries of ropes and ropes for the fishing sector.

You can visit places that offer unique panoramic views of great beauty, cliffs, quiet beaches, unspoilt landscapes and mountains; a diversity that also translates into its varied gastronomy based on sea products, as well as vegetables and fruit, all of excellent quality.

Stroll through Pontevedra and surround yourself with art and history. The streets and squares are dressed in centuries-old granite, with medieval mansions and churches dotting the city. Visit its interesting museums and explore the surrounding area, discover manor houses and monasteries and follow the trail of petroglyphs in beautiful natural surroundings.

Come to the region of Pontevedra, an artistic treasure that includes the towns of Pontevedra, Campo Lameiro, Barro, Poio, Vilaboa, Ponte Caldelas and A Lama.

Pontevedra exudes art from every corner. The squares and streets of the historic city take us back to a medieval past, in which the Way of St. James was a major meeting point. The Provincial Museum of Pontevedra houses archaeological, artistic and ethnographic collections of great value and offers us a journey through its history since prehistoric times.

The city of Pontevedra hides even more treasures, such as the remains of the ancient Archbishop's Towers, the monastery of San Salvador de Lérez or the luxurious and residential Lourizán Estate. The region also conserves an important archaeological heritage, such as the sets of cave engravings - petroglyphs - from the Bronze Age that mark the territory in Campo Lameiro, Tourón or A Caeira. The Pontevedra estuary, with towns such as Poio or the parishes of Combarro or Samieira, offers an interesting gastronomy and places of great natural and cultural interest. Its streets and squares, as well as the gardens of the pazos, castles and monasteries, invite you to discover the beauty of camellias and other flowers.

Discover a region where the vineyards overlook the sea, an allegory of the conjunction between the ocean and the land. The natural landscapes are peaceful and seafaring life coexists with orchards, beautiful gardens and productive vineyards. The pazos and wineries are scattered throughout the territory and history teaches us that forts, castles and monasteries dominated a landscape with a strong personality.

O Salnés offers you the opportunity to discover the small and active towns of Sanxenxo, Meaño, O Grove, Cambados, Ribadumia, Meis, A Illa de Arousa, Vilanova de Arousa and Vilagarcía de Arousa. All of them make up a territory with a great economic diversity and a marked idiosyncrasy, in which the sea and the land merge into a single landscape.

On the coast, fishing and shellfishing coexist with orchards and vineyards from which high quality wines are produced. Cambados, with its Ethnographic Museum of Wine, stands as the capital of wine production and various pazos (manor houses) shelter the wines in their cellars. Meanwhile, in O Grove and A Illa de Arousa the museums reveal the importance of their fishing activity and their tradition in the production of canned and salted fish. Shellfishing and fishing are descended from a long tradition, as evidenced by the castros, Iron Age settlements, which, located on the coast or on the beach itself, specialised in the exploitation of the sea and were important centres of trade.

A landscape such as that of O Salnés offers a paradise for gastronomic enjoyment, with a variety of fish and seafood, vegetables and fruit, all accompanied by excellent wines.

Savour the region of Caldas and immerse yourself in its waters. The sea, peaceful estuaries, rivers and curative waters that spring from springs, shape the territory and define the history of the region. On their way, the rivers Ulla and Umia and their tributaries dress the landscape with lagoons, waterfalls and lush forests, but they are also paths full of stories.

Travel through the towns of Valga, Catoira, Caldas de Reis, Cuntis, Moraña, Pontecesures and Portas, and discover the seduction of water. The region of Caldas is formed by the estuary of the river Ulla to the north and the middle and upper courses of the river Umia to the south. It is a territory with abundant surface water - rivers - and also with abundant groundwater with curative properties. The origin of the region and also of the town of Caldas derives precisely from the thermal springs, already used by the Romans and which became luxurious spas in the 19th century.

The rivers form landscapes of great beauty and, along their course, they form wild forests among rocks and mosses, lagoons and pools of green water and high waterfalls, ending in calm estuaries and wetlands, a refuge for migratory birds. But the rivers have also marked the history of this land, such as the numerous bridges, many of them of Roman origin, which facilitated communication between the two banks, or the Torres de Oeste, which controlled river traffic along the river Ulla. Several museums and interpretation centres show all this natural and patrimonial wealth, such as the Museum of History of Valga, which brings us closer to the history of the city and shows us the natural heritage of the Ulla estuary.

Immerse yourself in landscapes of open valleys, crossed by rivers, lush forests and mountain areas, where the smells, colours and sensations transport you to rural settings.

It crosses the towns of Forcarei, Cerdedo-Cotobade and A Estrada and travels with the five senses through open valleys and mountain areas, where rivers such as the Ulla, the Umia or the Lérez and their tributaries create a fertile landscape. The monastery of Aciveiro and its farms, such as the iceboxes for preserving and storing the precious ice, dominated Terra de Montes.

All the richness and rural diversity of this region can be seen in its museums, which tell us about a land of stonemasons, muleteers and emigration. Proof of the work of the stonemasons can be found in the popular architecture (A Eira de hórreos de Pedre and Ermida, the bridge of Andón in Aciveiro, the bridge of Serrapio-Cerdedo, the bridge of A Bouzada in Soutelo de Montes, the alarm tower of Barciela in Castrelo-Forcarei, the churches of Moreira and Codeseda in A Estrada and the monastery of Aciveiro itself).

The landscapes of the banks of the river Ulla or the bridges and mills that mark the river Lérez immerse us in lush, damp and green riverside forests, while from the top of the O Candán mountain range the horizon opens up, with extensive fields and oak groves. The magic of the forests accompanies us through abandoned villages such as Grovas, Aldea Vella de Vichocutín, Arufe or Godela, silent witnesses of a bustling past that vanished as the countryside was abandoned in search of a better life.

Tradition also offers unique spectacles such as the Rapa das Bestas, in Sabucedo, or the tasting of a rich gastronomy such as salmon from A Estrada and richada from Forcarei. The cheeses are accompanied by cider and sweet filloas.

Dare to savour the region of Deza, an inland landscape with extensive oak groves and riverside forests that coexist with fortified forts, pazos, churches, monasteries and pendellos. You will discover museums that connect with traditional rural life and that bring us closer to the archaeology, art and gastronomy of the region.

Architectures that take us back to the past and evoke nobility, religion or economy inland.

Museums that illustrate traditional rural life, bring us closer to the archaeology and gastronomy of the region, reveal the practice of wolfram mining in Fontao or reveal curiosities, such as that of a priest who, in the 19th century, installed an astronomical observatory in Lalín.

The manor houses, with their stately architecture, show the importance of the agricultural and livestock farming in the region.

The austere monasteries and churches bear witness to the settlement of religious communities dedicated to agricultural work. The pendellos, enclosures that served as market places, now unused, were bustling meeting places, and places for buying and selling the products of the countryside.

Complete the experience with a tasting of the gastronomy of this land, based on products from the countryside, the mountains and the forests, such as meats, vegetables, dairy products, wines, chestnuts and honey. Highlights include the meat from A Bandeira and the organic cheeses from the Arzúa-Ulloa D.O., which are a reference in this area.
