Exploring Galicia’s Medieval Marvels: A Family Adventure

Join me as I explore the medieval towns of Betanzos and Pontedeume on the Rías Altas Tour. Discover the perfect blend of history, culture, and family-friendly fun in Galicia.

A Journey Through Time: Betanzos

Our adventure began in the enchanting town of Betanzos, a place where history seems to whisper from every corner. As we strolled through the narrow, cobblestone streets, I couldn’t help but feel as though we had stepped back in time. The kids were fascinated by the medieval architecture, and I was thrilled to see them so engaged. We visited the Santiago de Betanzos church, a stunning example of Gothic architecture that left us all in awe.

The town’s traditional squares were bustling with life, and we took a moment to enjoy some local pastries. The children loved the sweet treats, and it was a perfect way to recharge before continuing our exploration. The lush countryside surrounding Betanzos provided a beautiful backdrop, and we took plenty of family photos to capture the memories.

Coastal Charm: Pontedeume

Next, our journey took us to the coastal town of Pontedeume, where the River Eume meets the sea. The kids were excited to see the water, and we spent some time strolling along the narrow streets, taking in the sights and sounds of this charming town. The Torres de Andrade was a highlight, and the children were intrigued by the stories of knights and battles that our guide shared.

We marveled at the impressive medieval bridge, a testament to the town’s rich history. The free time allowed us to relax by the water, and the kids enjoyed skipping stones and watching the boats. We also indulged in some local cuisine, savoring the fresh seafood that Galicia is famous for.

A Family-Friendly Adventure

The Rías Altas Tour was a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation, making it an ideal family-friendly adventure. Our private luxury vehicle and knowledgeable guide made the experience stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. The kids learned so much about Galicia’s medieval past, and I appreciated the opportunity to explore these beautiful towns at our own pace.

The memories we made in Betanzos and Pontedeume will be cherished for years to come, and I can’t wait to share more of our adventures with you.
