Tour description

Discover the beautiful Roman city of Ourense , known as the “City of Gold”, with the help of a local guide.
This city, on the banks of the Miño River , stands out for its abundant thermal waters , its Roman archaeological remains , its medieval past with its Cathedral and its numerous narrow streets that will transport you to another era. Numerous artists and writers were inspired by this city, located in a magical setting such as the Ribeira Sacr a and famous for its good gastronomy and traditions.

We will begin with the Roman past of Ourense in the Burgas, ancient hot springs where the Romans used to go to enjoy themselves and which the people of Ourense continue to do today.
We will continue into the Old Town until we reach the Plaza Mayor , where we will find some of the main monuments such as the Town Hall or the Episcopal Palace.

We will continue through different squares with names that tell us about the past activity of the people of Ourense, such as the Plaza del Trigo, until we reach the beautiful Romanesque and Gothic Cathedral , whose “Portico del Paraíso” has little to envy the famous “Portico de la Gloria” of the Cathedral of Santiago.

We will continue towards the Alameda and its beautiful Mercado de Abastos where you will see all the fresh Galician products and later we will arrive at the Plaza do Ferro , known as the wine area.
We will continue to finish through very mysterious places that will surprise you in the city of Ourense.

Don't miss it! Galicia has many cities worth exploring. Join us!
