Tour description

If you are looking for a plan to get to know Ourense, this free tour is ideal. We will take a journey through time to learn how this city of nobles, churches and sloping squares grew throughout history. Are you coming to discover it?

We will meet at the appointed time in As Burgas , the symbol of the city, where you will be able to touch the scorching waters that spring from the Earth's interior at over 60ºC. Will you dare?

After explaining the origins of the city, we will go into the Middle Ages by observing two buildings that perfectly explain the history of Ourense: the Pazo Episcopal and the Church of Santa María Nai , both next to the Casa do Concello . In both of them the fiercest struggles between the clergy and the free men of the city took place.

From there we will head to the Cathedral of San Martiño , known for the Portico del Paraíso, one of the best preserved with influences from the Portico de la Gloria of the Cathedral of Santiago.

Finally, we will get lost in squares such as Praza do Ferro , the best place to discover the gastronomy of Ourense, or Rúa do Paseo , the commercial and modernist street of Ourense.

After almost two hours of walking, we will conclude our free tour at Praza Maior .
