A Journey Through Time: Betanzos
Our adventure began in the enchanting town of Betanzos, a place where history seems to whisper from every corner.

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.
