Highlights
  • O Grove - It is the cradle of the Rías Baixas, of seafood and Albarino wine. This stop with a sea view is used to enjoy the good food that the town offers. An hour and a half approximately to be able to eat.
  • Capilla de Nuestra Senora de La Lanzada - 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.
  • Combarro - 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.

  • Isla de la Toja - 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.
  • O Grove - A tour over the sea, through which you will be able to admire and directly face the production of mussels, oysters and scallops; We will make different stops to be able to contemplate the troughs and then be able to taste a large quantity of steamed mussels accompanied by one of the best local wines and a good shot of Crema de Orujo.
  • Enoturismo Lagar De Besada - 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.

Good experience - The boat ride through La Toja was great. We never ate that much mussel. The rest of the tour was very enjoyable thanks to the Aleix Guide. The visit to the winery was also very good.

Unforgettable experience - Excellent Guide, Ana. Unforgettable landscapes. Spectacular boat trip, with stop in a tray to know the process of raising the mussel. Tour of mythical Galicia, for its legends and traditions (rite of nine waves, meigas...), its fishing villages (Combarro), its gastronomic and oenological culture (wineries, vineyard plantations...), its rich natural heritage (dream beaches) and cultural (horreos, crossroads, churches...). A journey to enjoy, learn and immerse yourself in the exciting universe of the Rias Baixas.

Interesting and instructive experience - A pretty complete tour. The story of La Toja, very curious. The boat ride through the estuary very enjoyable and instructive about breeding the different species of bivalves in the area. Great tasting of mussels and wine, and pomace cream shot. The beach launched with its hermitage. The stop in Combarro, very picturesque. The visit to the winery of Albariño, very entertaining, didactic and friendly, and the wine very good. Tour staff, driver Juan and Guide Lucia very professional. Lucia's explanations very interesting and pleasant to hear. Recommended experience.
