Tour description

Have you ever wondered why Galicians answer with a question, why they emigrated so much, why they are so superstitious, why they have such a close relationship with the deceased, why Galician is so similar to Portuguese or why Is Galician seafood so famous?

Let yourself be guided by a Galician from Costa da Morte and another from Ferrolterra, two official guides from Galicia who emigrated and practiced their profession abroad for 10 years, until morriña did its job and they returned home.

The tour will take place through the least known part of the historic center:

San Martino Square
Real Houses
San Roque Square
San Francisco
Pilgrims Cemetery
urban gardens
Alameda Park (Rosalía de Castro viewpoint - South Campus)

If you want to truly soak up the history and culture of Galicia with official and experienced guides...
