We leave Santiago de Compostela at 9:30 am and head south to the Rias Baixas.
Our first stop will be the gateway to the Rías Baixas, Padrón, land of literature. There, we will see on its boulevard two statues representing the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Camilo José Cela and another of the famous writer Rosalía de Castro. Next to them is the church of Santiago Apóstol, where the "pedron" where the ship that brought the apostle to the Galician lands was moored is located. Besides, Padrón is a city full of life, among other things because it is the last stop of the pilgrims of the Portuguese Way before arriving to Compostela.
From there, we will leave for our second stop, which will be the largest island of the Arousa estuary.
We will be on the island for about 2 hours during which travelers can either enjoy the sea and the beach (swimming in the calm waters of the estuary) or, with our guide, walk through the natural park of the island discovering the coves, paths and beautiful landscapes or even those who prefer can have a drink overlooking the sea in one of the beach bars.
After enjoying the island, we will head to the town of Cambados, capital of Albariño wine and a place of cultural interest in Galicia. In this villa, we will have free time to eat and, why not, taste the wines of the region or stroll through its historic district
Our next destination will be another island. In this case, the famous island of A Toxa, internationally known for its mineral and medicinal waters, the spa and hotel of the late nineteenth century, the old soap factory and the incomparable chapel of shells.
We leave the Ría de Arousa and go to the Ría de Pontevedra, the smallest estuary of the Rías Baixas. There we will go to the town of Combarro. Combarro is known for its well-preserved 18th century old town, full of granaries and stone crosses. We will have time to explore its intricate granite streets and enjoy this beautiful fishing village.
During this tour, you have the option of hiring a boat tour with a mussel tasting with local wine or soft drinks.
On this cruise through the estuaries, we will see the polygons of bateas (mussel farms) and enjoy spectacular views and, if we are lucky, we will see a dolphin!
The boat leaves in low season (until July) from the port of O Grove and in high season from the marina of Combarro.
We will be back in Santiago de Compostela around 7:30 pm.
