Full description This tour along the southern coast of Galicia, known as the Rías Baixas, invites you to discover some of the most picturesque landscapes and villages of the region. Through this route, travellers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and rich culture of Galicia, enjoying its famous gastronomy and one of its most renowned treasures: Albariño wine. Known worldwide for its freshness and quality, this wine with designation of origin from the Rías Baixas perfectly complements the experience at each stop along the route.

This itinerary allows visitors to get to know the essence of Galicia in depth, from its fishing traditions to the unique landscapes of the Atlantic coast. The guides specialised in the area not only offer an in-depth knowledge of the points of interest, but also share stories and anecdotes that enrich every moment of the trip, making the experience close and entertaining.

One of the first stops will be in O Grove, a picturesque coastal town famous for its seafood and beaches. Its seafaring atmosphere invites you to stroll through its streets and savour fresh seafood in its local restaurants. This destination is known for hosting the annual Seafood Festival, an event that attracts many visitors in search of the best of Galician gastronomy.

Next, the excursion heads to the island of La Toja, a place with a special charm and famous for its thermal waters and cosmetic products made with local ingredients. The island combines the luxury of its facilities with the tranquillity of its landscapes, offering a relaxing and exclusive atmosphere. Here, travellers can learn more about the history of this place, its legends and the healing properties of its waters.

The tour continues to Combarro, one of the most picturesque villages in Galicia. This small coastal town stands out for its traditional architecture and charming harbour. The famous ‘hórreos’ (raised granaries) overlooking the sea are one of the most representative symbols of Combarro, providing a unique and unmistakable image. Strolling through its narrow stone streets is like travelling back in time, as the village has maintained its essence over the centuries.

In addition to these stops, travellers who opt for the package with boat option can enjoy a trip on the ‘Barco del Mejillon’ (Mussel Boat) along the calm waters of the estuary. This boat trip, which is included for those who purchase the product with this option, will allow them to learn first-hand about the cultivation process of the famous Galician mussels. During the trip, passengers will have the opportunity to see the ‘bateas’, the floating structures where the mussels are raised, a method of cultivation that forms part of the culture and economy of the region. In addition, they will be able to taste this fresh seafood while enjoying the spectacular views of the estuary.

The boat experience adds a unique component to the trip, as it combines learning about one of Galicia's most important industries with the pleasure of tasting local produce directly in its natural environment. It is a perfect opportunity for those who wish to immerse themselves even more in Galician seafaring culture, enjoying a relaxing and enriching activity.

Throughout the tour, travellers will enjoy the company of expert guides who, in addition to providing historical and cultural details, will also offer personalised recommendations on the best places to taste Albariño, whether in a traditional winery or in the small local wineries dotted along the route.
