Baiona Galicia Private Tour
Description
At the appointed time we'll meet at Pozo da Aguada, where we'll start this private tour of Baiona, a city rich in history.
We'll start our tour of Baiona on the seafront promenade, where we'll walk to enjoy the view of Mount Boi and the castle of Monterreal, with its towers and battlements. This imposing fortress is now a Parador de Turismo Hotel.
We'll continue walking while admiring the monument of the Virgen de la Roca, Our Lady of the Rock, which is 49 feet (15 metres) high. Afterwards, we'll discover the house of Pedro Madruga, a very important character in the history of Baiona.
In addition to other interesting stories, we'll also tell you how the news of the Discovery of America arrived in Baiona by La Pinta, one of Christopher Columbus' ships. But this coast not only attracted new messages from the Indies but also invasions by pirates and corsairs such as the famous Francis Drake.
Our next stop will be in the old town of Baiona. We'll walk through its narrow streets passing by emblematic buildings such as the Ex Collegiate Church of Baiona, in Romanesque-Gothic style, or the church of Santa Liberata. These two churches are also key points on the Portuguese route of the famous pilgrimage, Camino Santiago.
Finally, we will return to the promenade to see the statue of Alfonso IX, one of the kings who brought popularity to Baiona. At this point we'll end the tour after two hours of sightseeing.
