    I thought the tour would be in English so I was worried to learn it was in Spanish (I’m not fluent) but the guide was so helpful! She adjusted the tour for me in our group- she did the tour very slowly and clearly in Spanish and clarified any questions I had in English. The tour wasn’t too much walking (there was lot of time in between stops for conversation and Q&A) so my Camino feet weren’t too tired at the end. Thank you so much for the wonderful history

Description

Benvido a Pontevedra! On the day of the free tour, we'll meet at Praza da Peregrina at the scheduled time, where this exciting and educational tour will begin. Ready? Let's go!

From our meeting point in Pontevedra, which is also known as "O Burgo", we'll make our way to the Basilica of Santa María, a 16th-century Gothic masterpiece. Admire its stunning facade and step inside to explore its richly decorated interior. Learn about its architectural significance and the history behind it.

Next, we'll stroll through the charming streets of this amazing city until we reach Praza da Leña, a lively square in the heart of the old town. This square is bustling with a traditional market where you can see and even purchase local products and handicrafts. Learn about the daily life of the locals and the historical importance of this iconic square!

Then, we'll head to the colourful Praza da Verdura which is known for its vibrant market of fresh fruit and vegetables. Soak up the sites, sounds and aromas of this bustling market and learn about its vital role in the community.

As we continue to wander down the narrow, cobblestone streets, we'll encounter numerous buildings of historical value, such as some imposing ancient manor houses, churches and convents. Our expert English-speaking guide will share some interesting stories and historical facts with us, helping us recount in our minds the history of these spots.

Finally, after 1 hour and 45 minutes, we'll bring this tour to an end at one of the city's many inviting squares where you can grab a bite to eat and enjoy some wine. Ata logo!
