Santuario de Nossa Senhora da Peneda
Religious destination
Sights & Landmarks
Backed by a massive rocky peak, this sanctuary has 2 bell towers & attracts pilgrims each September.
Magnificent place. The road there is steep and well hidden, sat nav got confused, but if you follow the signs, you'll be alright. The Santuario is impressive. From the side of the charge is a narrow path where you can hike to the above mountain lake passing big waterfalls.
Sheislikea W — Google review
A great place to witness as the mountains surround this beautiful place of worship. Although our visit was short and sweet, it is sad to see the sight of the hotel nearby which looked abandoned during the time we spent there.
Enchanting place . Definitely worth the visit in any weather. It's best to park down the stairs and to slowymake your way uphill. If you are in geres , don miss it
In the heart of Peneda Gerês National Park, surrounded by a magnificent natural environment, there is a monumental sanctuary that is well worth your visit! This place is beautiful and perfect for an one day trip.
It's a spooky place! But a great view and lots of history. You'll see the power of the church. They always have the biggest and best situated buildings in nearly every european town. That's hard to see but it's worth a break if you're in the park. :)
A fantastic place to visit! Very peaceful and interesting. We thought it was a shame that when we visited we were the only ones there. Because this place is well worth a visit. Simply unbelievable that not more folks visit here. But perhaps it is simply because it is off the beaten track (i.e. not near the likes of Geres etc.). I can highly recommend it!
Holy Portuguese Jesus! This place is amazing, and also a little bit weird. Make sure you take a peek in each of the little hut things. Bonus, after climbing all those stairs there’s a river off to the side you can dip in. Just don’t plan on doing the hike above the chapel- it’s closed for landslides. Or if you don’t speak the language and do the hike anyways because you don’t know what all the danger signs are saying…walk carefully.
Gorgeous little village in the heart of Geres. Loved the drive through the mountains to get here. Off the beaten path but worth it.

Absolutely brilliant experience! My kids and I (9 year old twins) had the best rime and our guide Helder was brilliant. They loved it and wanted to do it again and again. This is a fantastic experience in the most gorgeous surrounding. We will never forget it!
Faye W — Google review
I dove into an epic canyoning adventure with four friends, starting boldly at the intermediate level—even though I’d never done anything like it before. And let me tell you... it was an adrenaline-pumping, heart-racing experience like no other! Our guides, Ramon and Duarte, were nothing short of amazing—fun, skilled, and always ready to help, making every moment unforgettable.
We did the Level 1 Canyoning. Hélder and Jules were the perfect guides, leading us through a stunning river scenery in a safe and fun way. The whole family had a fantastic time despite different age and fitness levels. We will want to come back. Thank you.
We had a wonderful morning with the two guides, Elder and Duarte and Nina the Castro Laboeiro dog. The whole trip took 2 hours over the mountain tops and through wooded areas. We had our 11 year old daughter with us but you still need to be quite nimble to climb up and down. I can only recommend this hike
Very cool Kanyoning first experience! Jules and Filipe were very pro and reassuring. Landscape was incredible. Must do
The experience with Christopher and Helder were Max amazing. They were fun and super positive. The explanation were good. We all loved it.
My girlfriend and I did a canyoning tour with Helder and Duarte this morning. Was a really great experience, great tour guides that really go the extra mile for a great experience:) we wish the tour could last longer.
We will be back again for the next step: the Deep canyoning experience:)
It was a really fun day!! Chris was really helpful and funny. Would recommend this to anyone who want to do something adventurous!

PR-G 177 Ruta Canón do río Mao
Hiking area
Outdoor Activities
The PR-G 177 Ruta Canón do río Mao consists of two loops starting from SAN LOURENZO DE BARXACOVA. The shorter loop is a 5.0 km trail that begins at LA FABRICA DE LA LUZ, featuring the stunning LAS PASARELAS DEL RIO MAO and a steep climb to San Lorenzo de Barxacova before descending back to the starting point.
(Translated by Google) Spectacular route along the canyon. On rainy days, despite the metal mesh, the walkways are slippery. Autumn looks even more spectacular, although the river does not have much water.
(Original)
Ruta espectacular a lo largo del cañón. En dias lluviosos, a pesar de la malla metálica, las pasarelas resbalan. El otoño aún luce más espectacular, aunque en rio no mleva demasiada agua.
Aitor Z — Google review
(Translated by Google) Very nice and simple route. It does not have any difficulty and can be done as a family. For those who want more complexity and duration, it can be combined with another circular route that totals 16 km.
(Original)
Ruta muy bonita y sencilla. No tiene ninguna dificultad y puede hacerse en familia. Para quienes quieran más complejidad y duración, puede combinarse con otra ruta circular que suma un total de 16 km.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful route. I started in Barxacove and left the Mao River passages for last. About 18 km, challenging in the first half, and downhill at the end.
(Original)
Preciosa ruta. Yo la inicié en Barxacove y dejé para el final los pasadizos del Río Mao. Unos 18 km exigentes en su primera mitad y cuesta abajo el final.
(Translated by Google) We have taken the route of the footbridges, to Barxacova, we have continued for about 100m to where the path separates from the river and we have turned back along the same path.
The views are very beautiful and it is an easy route to do, simple.
There are sections of walkways that have mesh and help to prevent slipping, because other sections do not have it and are slippery, especially if it is wet.
There is parking down the narrow signposted path and there is also the possibility of leaving the car upstairs, on the shoulder of the road.
(Original)
Hemos hecho la ruta de las pasarelas, hasta Barxacova, hemos seguido unos 100m hasta donde el camino se separa del río y hemos dado vuelta de regreso por el mismo camino.
Las vistas son muy bonitas y es una ruta fácil de hacer, sencilla.
Hay tramos de pasarelas que tienen malla y ayuda para no resbalar, porque otros tramos no la tienen y es resbaladizo, sobre todo si está mojado.
Hay aparcamiento bajando por el estrecho camino señalizado y también hay posibilidad de dejar el coche arriba, en el arcén de la carretera.
(Translated by Google) It was a beautiful route. I recommend going early in the morning because of the heat. There are stairs leading up and down, so bring some cool water. You can park next to the factory, which is the starting point!
(Original)
Ha sido una ruta preciosa, recomiendo ir a primera hora de la mañana por el calor que hemos pasado, hay escaleras de bajada y subida, echad agua fresquita. Se puede aparcar junto a la fabrica que es el comienzo!
(Translated by Google) You start walking along some walkways over the River canyon and it is spectacularly beautiful and super affordable, then you reach a path next to the River and it is also affordable until you reach Barxacova, which is a village. Up to here the route is beautiful and easy and pleasant. From Barxacova we saw that many people turned around or where the village ended, which was the road, they went down there to the cars. We continue to San Lorenzo, and then returning from San Lorenzo to the cars is not indicated. The route is much longer, but we wanted to just do a bit. From Barxacova there is a lot of very steep climbing and the path cuts all the time with the road that has to be crossed every so often, so if you go with a dog you have to be careful and leash it, which although it is not a very busy road it is narrow and mountainous with a lot of curves and two directions.
(Original)
Empiezas andando por unas pasarelas sobre el cañón del Río y es espectacular de bonito y super asequible, luego llegas a un camino al lado del Río y también es asequible hasta que llegas a Barxacova que es una aldea. Hasta aquí la ruta es bonita y fácil y agradable. A partir de Barxacova vimos que mucha gente daba la vuelta o donde acababa la aldea que era carretera, bajaban por ahí hasta los coches. Nosotros seguimos hasta San Lorenzo, y luego volver de San Lorenzo a los coches no está indicado. La ruta es mucho más larga, pero queríamos solo hacer un cacho. A partir de Barxacova hay mucha subida muy empinada y la senda corta todo el rato con la carretera que hay que cruzarla cada x tiempo, por eso si se va con perro hay que estar atento y atarle, que aunque no es una carretera super transitada es estrecha y de montaña con mucha curva y de doble sentido.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful route to explore the Mao River and its surroundings. The footbridges are impressive and blend into the landscape.
(Original)
Preciosa ruta para conocer el río Mao y su entorno. Las pasarelas son impresionantes y se funden con el paisaje.
(Translated by Google) Easy route with good access. Well-maintained walkway. Very pretty and quiet area.

Ruta fácil y con buenos accesos. Pasarela muy bien conservada. Zona muy bonita y tranquila

Balcóns de Madrid
Mentioned on
Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Balcóns de Madrid is a mountainous hiking area in Parada de Sil, offering expansive views of the River Sil canyon and Ribeira Sacra. Accessible by car with some walking involved, it's a peaceful spot paying homage to Galician men who sought work in Madrid. This hidden gem offers breathtaking views of vineyards, ancient woodlands, monasteries, and churches.
Spectacular spot in Spain’s quiet corner. Free entry, accessible by car on a beautiful road. Highly recommended

This place is breathtaking. Views of the Sil Canyon will blow you away! Easy 5 minute walk from car park next to football field.
Beautiful views!! The miradoiro is nicely done and you have a perfect structure to enjoy the view.
You have to walk a few meters but it's very easy
If you are in the area, definitely take some time to walk around and visit this viewpoint – it’s absolutely worth it! The view is truly breathtaking, stretching out across the landscape in a way that makes you want to just stand still and take it all in. We ended up spending about 30 minutes here, simply admiring and enjoying the scenery, and it honestly felt like time well spent. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, making it a perfect stop to pause, relax, and appreciate the natural beauty around you. Whether you’re taking photos or just enjoying the moment, this viewpoint is a highlight that shouldn’t be missed when visiting the region.
Great recreation area with beautiful walks, trails for bikes, plenty of parking and breath-taking views of the Sil canyon.
Great views of the cannon of the Sil River.
Great view point overlooking the River Sil in Galicia, Spain. Easy, flat walk from nearby parking area.
Overrated viewpoint. Easy access by car but better to look at the mountain than the river. Beautiful because everything is in this region but I wouldn't stop here without also hiking down to the monastery.

Stunning cathedral which you can enjoy without the crowds of Santiago. The paradise portico is an exceptional work of art.
The first time I've been here was in 1970!!
It's part of my life and I'm grateful for the best time ever and ever.
The peace of love of God with humanity
Magnificent architecture of the medieval period.
Stunning building. The site dates back to 11c. Same fascinating exhibit such as early printed books. Exhibits from the nobility wars.
The audio guide is very clear.
Even if the city is not very beautiful, the Cathedral is marvellous and deserve a stop @Ourense. There is audio guide in 5 languages to enjoy your visit. We loved it! 🙏🏻💫
A must-see in Ourense, a significant cathedral and wonderful audio tour. My 2nd visit over the years, this place has many beautiful exhibits and amazing art. Serene, uncrowded and lovely -- a Galician gem.
Beautiful cathedral! The audio tour was very informative.

Ourense Thermal Springs is a major attraction in the city, boasting one of the highest concentrations of geothermal water in Europe. Visitors can enjoy outdoor baths in various pozas around the area. The ancient Romans recognized the healing properties of these hot springs, particularly for ailments like arthritis. For a nominal fee, visitors have access to changing rooms, lockers, and showers. While some facilities may be out of order and water cleanliness varies, it remains a relaxing place to visit with family and friends.
Excellent! Clean, well kept and monitored by 2 staff daily. And it's free to the public! Well worth a visit.
Mike — Google review
Great location, price (free!) and water (hot!). Numbers are limited and a new batch of people are admitted on the hour, so worth planning your arrival time
They need a new manager ( skinny young man ) who does not discriminate against people who are foreign. The other stuff is excellent.
Too many people so you have to go early, but very nice place and nice experience.
Very good
(Translated by Google) For the price of about five euros you have nothing to complain about: a changing room with locker and shower and enough baths to stay in. However, a number of facilities were still defective and not in use, and the water was not very clean everywhere.

Voor de prijs van zo’n vijf euro heb je niets te klagen: kleedkamer met locker en douche en genoeg baden om in te verblijven. Wel was er een aantal faciliteiten nog altijd defect en niet in gebruik, water was ook niet overal al te schoon.

What a truly wonderful experience at the thermal springs! 🤩 I had such a serene and beautiful time exploring all the different thermal pools. I'd definitely visit again if I was in the area.
To top it all off, I treated myself to an amazing full body chocolate massage followed by a quick facial. Pure bliss! 🍫💆♀️
It was incredibly relaxing and my masseuse was excellent. Highly recommend!
Excelent! The water is really hot and very clean. We paid 6,5 per person and had access to the entire thermal, bathhouse and lockers.
They also have a nice bar outside ;)
Termas de Prexigueiro in Ribadavia, Spain, brings back memories of my beloved Japanese onsens. Here you have a paid hotsprings and a wild river hotsprings.
For the paid hotsprings, you have 7 pools of varying water temperatures amidst a luscious pine forest. 🌲🌲 Rates are between 5,10 to 5,70€ per adult for 90 minutes. Bring your own bathrobe/towel, swimming costumes and slippers. Bring drinking water to hydrate yourself. There is a changing room, WC and a cafeteria.
The WILD RIVER HOTSPRINGS is interesting and popular with the locals. There is a road, closed to cars, just before the parking area for Termas de Prexigueria. Follow the road and walk for about 100 metres. On the left, you will see small pools of cloudy water with a strong sulphur smell. Bring along your towel, swimming costumes and slippers. Enjoy both!
The natural terme next to the river is charming. 3 samalla nature pools with hot water.
Fantastic location in the forest 6x Thermal pools with 2x cold water plunge pools. 5* experience and location for 1* price.
I had a facial but I didn't think much of the treatment didnt think they were an experienced therapist.
Wwwwaaaaa what an amazing experience. Always hated the idea of spas etc but this was SO relaxing and felt so close to nature. Highly recommended
Amazing location surrounded by trees, a small river nearby and pure calm and nature. Unfortunately some construction works are currently happening which spoils a bit the ideal calm and silence to fully enjoy the thermal circuit. Nevertheless, great experience and highly recommend. 5.5€ for the entire 90minutes circuit is a very reasonable price. Tip: take your own towels to avoid having to rent them.

Interesting site with a fabulous guide who made it a compelling experience. Tar took questions on an incredible range of topics: the old system of land-ownership, history of the piano and dinnerware manufacturing, conservation of old maps, ... you name it! He spent an extra hour with us, partly to offer suggestions about how to document family history from the 18th century. He is a true Renaissance man.
Just be sure to make a reservation in advance.
Free guided visit but with very restricted hours. Check them in advance.
Absolutely advisable to understand local culture and customs.
This used to be a wonderful visit. Now you have to book in advance but no one answers the phone. We arrived without reservation and with hope but could not visit. Such a shame
Awesome old house! And according to a legend, there is a treasure to be found ! Visit was great and guide very friendly
Expectacular
(Translated by Google) A must-see. Reservations are required, even though admission is free, as groups are limited to no more than 15 people.

The staff were down right rude and only gave us one locker for five people. The exception was one lifeguard who was very helpful. The pools themselves were good with lots of jets and saunas. There were A LOT of people so it's not a zen experience, it's more of a fun occasion to try. Very difficult to park... When we were asked they said to find where you could.
Great experience, relaxing and children are welcome.
A bit overpriced
Relax
Relax total
(Translated by Google) An experience that must be lived and that costs about €22 for approximately 2 hours, which fly by. It is necessary to reserve in advance by calling one of the two telephone numbers listed on their website.
Parking is easy in the surrounding area and can be accessed both through the hotel and through the water palace itself. Likewise, you must bring a swimsuit, flip flops, a towel and a pool cap; although there they have free flip flops at your disposal and there is even the possibility of buying a souvenir hat for €4. The use of the mask is optional and they give you a plastic bag to put the towel inside, as well as the corresponding key to the locker that you have to store your personal belongings.
Taking photos inside is prohibited out of respect for other people's privacy, but at the end of the day they let me take them since it was empty.
What I liked most, without a doubt, is the outdoor pool that is on top of everything. Impossible not to fall asleep there!
(Original)
Una experiencia que hay que vivir y que cuesta unos 22€ por 2h aproximadamente, las cuales pasan volando. Es necesario reservar con antelación llamando a alguno de los dos teléfonos que aparecen recogidos en su página web.
Se puede aparcar fácilmente en los alrededores y se puede acceder tanto a través del hotel como a través del palacio del agua en sí. Asimismo, hay que llevar bañador, chanclas, toalla y gorro de piscina; aunque allí tienen a tu disposición chanclas gratuitas e incluso existe la posibilidad de comprar un gorro de recuerdo por 4€. El uso de la mascarilla es opcional y te dan una bolsa de plástico para meter dentro la toalla, además de la correspondiente llave de la taquilla que te toque para guardar tus enseres personales.
En el interior está prohibido hacer fotos por respeto a la intimidad de las demás personas, pero al final del día me dejaron hacerlas ya que se había quedado vacío.
Lo que más me ha gustado, sin duda alguna, es la piscina exterior que está arriba de todo. ¡Imposible no quedarte dormido ahí!
(Translated by Google) The Water Palace of the Mondariz Spa has spectacular facilities in a privileged environment.
A must visit if you are in Galicia or if you simply want to spend a weekend of disconnection away from stress.
The SPA consists of: a large central pool with water beds, waterfall, jacuzzis, cinema necks, etc.
It also has footbaths, an outdoor hot water pool, saunas, whirlpools, vertical jets at different heights, etc.
The design of the SPA and its distribution is one of the best among all those in the state, even the best.
It is true that 2 of the 6 saunas they have were not working, I hope they fix it soon. Despite this, I give the 5 stars because the treatment of all the staff makes up for it.
Many thanks to Belén, Cali and Pili from Reception and to David, Sebas and Julián the Lifeguards for the treatment and attention.
Mondariz never disappoints!
Interesting to go before dinner and try the local cuisine!!
Finally, highlight the Gándara Fountain, where you can drink mineral water with very beneficial properties for your health and which is located right in front of the Water Palace!

Mondariz nunca defrauda!
Interesante ir antes de cenar y probar la gastronomía local!!
Por último, destacar la Fuente de Gándara, donde se puede beber un agua mineral con propiedades muy beneficios para la salud y que se encuentra justo delante del Palacio del Agua!

Igrexa de San Xoán ou San Nicolao
Church
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
(Translated by Google) The church of San Xoán de Portomarín, currently San Nicolao, is a typical church-fortress with battlemented towers as befits the military order of the knight-monks who built it, on horseback between the 12th and 13th centuries. The main facade is made up of a large arch, broken into two parts by a turnachoivas of geometric arches. In the upper part opens one of the largest Romanesque carnations of more than five meters in diameter, very well worked. In the lower part you can see the portal, with three pairs of columns with vegetable capitals. In the interior archivolt, the twenty-four elders of the Apocalypse are represented playing various instruments, around the tympanum in which appears a majestic Christ, very much dressed. In the side walls, with buttresses joined by pointed arches, there are two other doors. In the north one, with marble capitals, strange birds with human heads and the scene of the Annunciation are depicted on the tympanum. The south door is presided over by a bishop, said to be Saint Nicholas, and two characters holding the staff and more of the book. The semicircular apse is divided by four columns with three Romanesque style windows in the bays. The interior of the nave is sober and austere in ornamentation if we compare it to the exterior. Pointed arches end the vault and, between the tall columns on the sides, open wide windows with checkered archivolts. Another beautiful carnation sends light from the roof of the nave.
(Original)
A igrexa de San Xoán de Portomarín, actualmente de San Nicolao, é unha típica igrexa-fortaleza con torres ameadas como corresponde á orde militar dos monxes-cabaleiros que a construíron, de a cabalo entre os séculos XII e XIII. A fachada principal componse dun gran arco, derregado en dúas partes por un tornachoivas de arquiños xeométricos. Na parte superior ábrese un dos meirandes caraveis románicos de máis de cinco metros de diámetro, moi ben traballado. Na inferior pódese contempla-la portada, de tres pares de columnas con capiteis vexetais. Na arquivolta interior represéntase os vinte e catro anciáns da Apocalipse tanxendo diversos instrumentos, ó redor do tímpano no que aparece un Cristo maxestático, moi luído. Nos muros laterais, con contrafortes unidos por arcos de aresta viva, hai outras dúas portas. Na do norte, de capiteis de mármore, represéntanse estrañas aves con cabezas humanas e a escena da Anunciación no tímpano. A porta do sur está presidida por un bispo, seica San Nicolás, e dous personaxes que terman do báculo e máis do libro. A ábsida semicircular está dividida por catro columnas con tres fiestras de estilo románico nos vaos. O interior da nave é sobrio e austero en ornamentación se o comparamos co exterior. Uns arcos apuntados terman da bóveda e, entre as altas columnas dos laterais, ábrense amplas fiestras con arquivoltas axadrezadas. Outro fermoso caravel manda luz dende o testeiro da nave.

Lovely church in Portomarin with interesting architecture and was open after we arrived walking the Camino from Sarria. We were so happy the church was open in the afternoon so we could receive a stamp here. Gave a small donation in return. We wished more churches along the Camino would be open in the afternoons to visit and to receive a stamp. Churches are an important component of the Camino.
(Translated by Google) The Church of San Nicolás de Portomarín, also known as the Church of San Juan, is a jewel of Galician Romanesque architecture and a symbol of the Camino de Santiago. Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries by the Order of the Knights Hospitaller of Saint John of Jerusalem, it combines religious and defensive functions, making it a unique church-fortress in Galicia.
Originally located next to the Miño River, in the old town of Portomarín, the church was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt in its current location in the 1960s. This move was due to the construction of the Belesar reservoir, which flooded the old town. The 16,000 pieces that make up the temple were numbered and protected.
The church features a robust structure with high walls, battlements, and defensive towers at the corners, reflecting its military character. Its main façade stands out for its large rose window and a portico decorated with three splayed archivolts, attributed to the workshop of Master Mateo, known for his work on the Portico of Glory of the Cathedral of Santiago.
Inside, the single nave is covered with a pointed barrel vault, and the chancel features a semicircular apse. The north and south doors are richly decorated, depicting scenes such as the Annunciation and episcopal figures.

La Iglesia de San Nicolás de Portomarín, también conocida como Iglesia de San Juan, es una joya del románico gallego y un símbolo del Camino de Santiago. Construida entre finales del siglo XII y principios del XIII por la Orden de los Caballeros Hospitalarios de San Juan de Jerusalén, combina funciones religiosas y defensivas, característica que la convierte en una iglesia-fortaleza única en Galicia .
Originalmente situada junto al río Miño, en el antiguo Portomarín, la iglesia fue desmontada piedra a piedra y reconstruida en su ubicación actual en la década de 1960. Este traslado se debió a la construcción del embalse de Belesar, que inundó la antigua villa. Las 16.000 piezas que componen el templo fueron numeradas y protegidas.
La iglesia presenta una estructura robusta con muros altos, almenas y torres defensivas en las esquinas, reflejando su carácter militar. Su fachada principal destaca por un gran rosetón y un pórtico decorado con tres arquivoltas abocinadas, atribuidas al taller del Maestro Mateo, conocido por su trabajo en el Pórtico de la Gloria de la Catedral de Santiago .
En el interior, la nave única se cubre con una bóveda de cañón apuntado, y la cabecera presenta un ábside semicircular. Las puertas norte y sur están ricamente decoradas, representando escenas como la Anunciación y figuras episcopales
Churches are important for more than "getting a stamp"....tourist bunk. Churches need to be attended and supported by our presence and prayers during a Mass.
Romanesque fortified St. John's Church which dates back to 12th/13th Century. It was reconstructed in 1963 under General Franco's regime when the village of Portomarín including Church were moved to avoid the flooding when they dammed the River Miño downstream at Belesar. The Church was therefore moved stone by stone to its current position and some of the original numbering you can still see between stones.
The Church is particularly striking architecturally because it's original design was inspired by the Portico de la Gloria entrance porch to Santiago Cathedral.
There's a pilgrim mass every evening at 7 pm ehen pilgrims can get their Credentials stamped. The Mass is also popular with locals.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful!! The stamp they give you is gorgeous. I recommend going, but be careful because the lady who gives the stamp has a set schedule!
We went on a Monday and it was open from 2-8 pm.

Bonita!! El sello que te ponen es precioso. Recomendado ir, ojo porque la señora que pone el sello va dentro de un horario!

Beautiful church.
GO to the 7 PM mass everyone. It is the greatest pilgrimage you will ever be on. There is a miracle happening in every Catholic church next to you at mass. I loved it here.

Santuario de la Peregrina (Parroquia San Bartolome)
Mentioned on
Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Igrexa da Virxe Peregrina, also known as the Sanctuary of the Pilgrim Madonna, is a late 18th-century chapel located in Pontevedra. The church is designed in a distinctive rounded shape resembling a scallop shell, symbolizing St. James. It features stained-glass windows and a mollusk shell font. The exterior showcases an image of the Virgin Mary dressed as a pilgrim alongside St. James and St. Joseph.
I had the chance to visit the Igrexa da Virxe Peregrina in Pontevedra, and I was truly struck by its beauty. The church’s unique shell-shaped design is unlike anything I’ve seen before, and its neoclassical style adds to its elegance. The interior is peaceful and welcoming, with stunning artwork and details. It was fascinating to learn about its connection to the Camino de Santiago and its importance as a pilgrimage site. The church stands as a lovely symbol of both religious devotion and local history.

We stop in this city, Pontevedra on our 10th day of Camino Porto. In Ottone, Iglesia Virgen Peregrina Pontevedra is very nice. Everyone who are here must visit.
Interesting shape of the church in the middle of the city. It is much smaller than I expected.
It is free to enter but costs 1€ to climb up to the top of the dome and look down on the inside of the church. Definitely worth the Euro for this experience.
It is a stop for the pilgrims on their journey to Santiago.
Such a wonderful sight to see in this very nice little town. The sculpture, building and art are so very good and I would advise anyone to stop and visit if possible. This is a very nice part of town with so much to do within walking distance. Thank you to those that maintain this great structure.
Wow and the convent next to it. The grounds are beautiful and it is right there off the plaza
Beautiful church with really interesting history. Quite small, not helped by having a stall filled with extremely overpriced tourist tut right in the entranceway
Terrible, the woman who stamp for ppl is very rude and impatient. She used three of my stamp spots. Don’t come to her for the stamp, it’s a huge waste of life!
The original Virgin Pilgrim Church. Understood that this was a site of a tower under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Santiago. Pilgrims used to travel through Pontevedra and stop over for prayers here. Beautiful church inside with Camino seashell emblems all over the church including confessional box, Benches, statues etc. The pilgrim mass is daily at 730pm and apparently there’s also an English pilgrim mass later in the evening (but we can’t confirm.)

Great location in the very center of the old town with all of the interesting attractions in walking distance. Friendly and responsive staff. Warm and cozy room cleaned every day. All the facilities working perfectly
Don't let the entrance misguide you. Amazing roof loft room. Spacious, with character.
A great hotel along the Caminho. They stored our bikes inside and we had a comfortable room that was in a convenient location. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They allowed us an early check-in, which was extremely kind considering the rain we had traveled through. The continental breakfast was a good start the next day.
Basic rooms
Don't pay for breakfast ..its not great .ours was included as a upgrade ..
Central and right on the camimo path
Nice place on the Camino, lobby can use a little work to hide washer and dryer. Room is spacious and bathroom is good. But sink is useless with a faucet handle so big it makes the sink extremely difficult to use
The location is great and that's it.the room is not sound proof, the curtain only closes half way and does not block the light . The mattres and pillow are so uncomfortable that I never fully fell asleep in the nights I stay here. It might be OK if you are doing Camino and so tired so you won't mind, but definitely don't stay here for pleasure. Also pricy for what it is.
Fantastic location. We stayed 2 nights when walking the Camino in early May. Daniel looked after us for breakfast and evening meals. Wonderful traditional food on both evenings which included slow cooked beef which was amazing. He recommended the wine for my fish meal which was delicious. He was very caring and thoughtful. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to anyone to stay here. Thanks again Daniel for looking after us and thanks to the lady that checked us in and I think carried our bags upstairs

These cool houses are incredibly beautiful and cute. I think they are very good build from amazing materials. I think they use it for fish and hanging up garments right now. There are plenty of shops and restaurants around the beautiful hórreos. Parking is difficult. The best place is at the beginning of the port.
Gorgeous place Having been very disappointed by the lack of historical interest in Baixa area this was a lovely find . Small and a tad touristy bit beautiful with many gorgeous old buildings as well as the horreos and some lovely looking restaurants on the sea front which were actually open in September! A miracle in this part of Galicia from our travels so far!
Pretty little town just a few minutes away from Pontevedra. It’s worth staying overnight at one of the hotels or BnBs here, so that you can enjoy the sunset and dinner time tranquility at its fullest.
Beautiful place and very interesting.
What a cute and lovely village!!!!
Very nice and friendly people and some nice local shops too!!!
Worth the distance I've traveled!!!
Pretty village in a beautiful position on the estuary. Extremely busy on a Sunday in August. We parked near the park to the east of town (where campavans park) and walked 10 minutes back along a pretty back road.
Beautiful little town, we came early in the day in June and there weren't many people, but you get the sense that it does get quite busy. The whole town feels like a postcard from the past, complete with peregrinos.

Fervenza do Toxa is a stunning route that runs between Silleda and Vila de Cruces in Pontevedra, part of the PRG-18 trail. Designated as a Site of Community Importance, it offers a clearly marked path with plenty to see along the way. The waterfall can be viewed from both the top and bottom, providing an unforgettable experience despite some access limitations. Visitors recommend visiting during off-peak times for a more peaceful experience.
Beautiful trail to get to the waterfall that is quite impressive! One of the tallest in Galicia. A worth visit if you’re around. Make sure you wear a cape when you get close haha
Giselle J — Google review
The waterfall is pretty nice but it does seem to take ages to walk down to it from the car park. Then you have to walk all the way back up again! The main negative point was the flies - I was literally swarmed by them and it was horrible - thankfully only in the upper half of the path and at the car park and not so much at the waterfall itself.
Great easy trail! perfect for everyone!
Nice, gentle walk through a lush canopy of ash, cork, chestnut, oak, and laurel trees—plenty of shade to keep things cool and relaxing.
One walking path leads to a mirador perched on massive rocks, where you catch that “wow” view of the waterfall before heading down to the base.
I saw families and even seniors mastering the trail with ease. The climb to the mirador does include stairs and some steep sections—but totally manageable, especially if you go at your own pace. I hit this walk at the end of the day, and yeah, I was tired—but everything was doable.
The waterfall is a showstopper: a powerful free-fall drop of about 30 meters—one of the tallest in Galicia—and the roar and mist are truly immersive. There are neat stone picnic tables close by—ideal for a quick rest or snack while you soak it all in.
On top of the beautiful scenery, the area has a climate similar to the Pacific Northwest, with humidity that keeps ferns and lush growth thriving. You’ll feel it in the air—it’s refreshing, but expect a bit of sticky warmth on the return climb up.
Definitely recommend for a relaxed outing that delivers magic every step of the way.
Spectacular. Well worth a visit though probably better off peak! The full walk from the monastery is great too.

Praia Da Lanzada is a stunning cove known for its scenic beauty, rock formations, and clear waters. It boasts a long stretch of whitish sand that is considered one of the best in Galicia. The beach is perfect for activities like surfing, windsurfing, and leisurely walks. Divided into three surf areas - North, South, and Central - it offers consistent waves throughout the year.
Ideal family beach. 2km of golden sand to walk along and find your preferred spot to relax, soak up the sun and swim in the cool Atlantic waters. Parking is no problem, however, the further away from the chiringuito and crowds you want to be, the further you'll need to walk.

Nice beach, very clean and well maintained. Plenty of toilets, also clean. The only place in the area where you can rent chairs and umbrellas - 7€ for each
Good beach to do surfing and sun bath. Beach is accessible with car and only few distance to walk. Toilets are available and foot shower also available
Very nice beach. But the waves are huge even on not so windy day and the water is freezing. But what you expect in Galicia.
Praia da Lanzada is one of the most beautiful beaches in Galicia, with a long stretch of golden sand and clear waters. Popular for surfing and long walks, it can get very crowded in summer, but the natural setting and stunning views make it worth a visit.
The biggest beach with a lot of space. Place your towel nect to the dune as the tide will surprise you.
1.5 mile beach. Bit of surf in the middle. Bar/cafe at either end. Free parking in the middle and at far end
Beautiful but not dog friendly and showers are turned off

IBERIK Balneario de Guitiriz
Resort hotel
Spas & Wellness
Modest quarters in a high-end spa venue with a chic restaurant, a 9-hole golf course & a forest.
A great place to unwind. The small forest behind the hotel is absolutely charming, I'd return just to hear the birds singing (listen bellow👇, though the recording doesn't do it justice). We didn’t eat at the hotel, so I can’t comment on the food. The balneario was fun and relaxing, but after about an hour, the cold water started to set in (the experience lasts 90 minutes).
Elizabeth D — Google review
The hotel is clean and tastefully remodeled. The setting is peaceful, a forest with the sound of birds singing. The balneario is pretty fun. The hotel is very large, with many areas to explore.
But the price gouging at this place is terrible. The balneario costs 25€ per person - already high - and then you have to pay for swim caps and sandals to enter. The food is the worst part. Absolutely awful quality, like hospital food. Poorly prepared and bad ingredients served bland and cold. My husband was served fish that was raw inside. And the dinner is a total scandal at 27€ per person. One of the worst breakfast buffets I’ve ever seen. It just seems like they are cutting corners to save money - for example, there are no amenities in the room and nothing in the fridge - you have to order items one at a time. It’s a shame because a four star hotel should be more enjoyable.
The hotel is set in very quiet natural surroundings, and it is perfect to relax in its well equipped spa (which is a bit steep in price but definitely worth a visit). The buffet breakfast is good and the personnel very helpful and friendly. A good choice for a light dinner was the albariño wine, cheese, olives and delicious croquetas in the bar.
The hotel is close to beautiful hikes, Guitiriz is a lovely town and has all the basics like restaurants, supermarkets and petrol stations. It's also very well connected with Lugo and A Coruña.
Spa not included,costs extra 30eur. Pet costs extra too. Overlarge hotel which lacks charm. Staff very friendly
It is a really nice place for walk with a beautiful view of the Golf Club.
Balneario de guitiriz is a great place to take a break from your everyday life.
We've been there several times, they have really big rooms, beds and room service, everything is clean and nice, even surrounded by the smell of nature all around thanks to the golf courses and the long walk between their century trees.
The special water conditions help you relax and get its healthy profits. They have two pools, one for the adults and a the other for children which our son enjoyed a lot.
Never the less, the food in the restaurant and the bar has a wide variety to choose from, everything with great quality and great representation of the galician gastronomy.
Cool place. Great views. 9/10

Mirador Curotiña is a must-see for tourists, offering stunning and panoramic views of the surrounding areas. On clear days, visitors can enjoy breathtaking scenery and see small cities and points of interest in the distance. The mirador also features an open cafe where visitors can relax and take in the view while enjoying food and drinks. Additionally, there are opportunities to explore a small hut selling sandwiches and refreshing drinks as well as a fire lookout tower nearby.
The drive up to the top is quite steep with lots of turns and switchbacks. On the way up, we saw wild horses and 2 foals. The views of the coastline are spectacular, although on the day we went, it was pretty cloudy at the top, so some of the views were obscured as the clouds moved through. The landscape is very dramatic and beautiful. It's definitely worth the drive.

Mirador Curotiña is a peaceful viewpoint offering breathtaking panoramic views of Galicia’s mountains and valleys. It’s the perfect place to enjoy nature, relax, and capture stunning photos.
Parking is free, and the walk up is short and not too challenging—just a few minutes.
It's worth driving the 15 minutes to this Mirador. On clear days the views are stunning and you can see of the small cities and some points of interest in the distance.
You can get greatest views of the surrounding areas. There is also an open cafe nearby at the time I'm writing this. So you can enjoy the view while you eat or drink something.
Wow! Beautiful worth the drive out.
This one the most spectacular views during sun and wind. When there is no dust or fog, you can see up to Portugal, and Finisterre. Outstanding and amazing day
One of the best view point in Galicia where you can see La Ria de Arousa and all the villages, some beaches, the sea... Good but tiny road to reach the place
Very very nice 360° view over... well everything. Definitely worth the windy drive there
Great views, be careful if getting of the trail from sharp and spiky plants.

Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
Mentioned on
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is a magnificent Romanesque structure and a renowned pilgrimage site, featuring the impressive carved arched portico by Master Mateo. The cathedral has undergone various extensions and incorporates elements of Renaissance, Baroque, and Neo-Classical styles. Its different facades showcase diverse architectural influences, from Baroque to Neoclassical.
The architect of this cathedral is beyond amazing, it’s unbelievable. The inside of the cathedral is so stunning, and incredibly beautiful. I had a wonderful experience in the city of Santiago. It’s super nice and clean. The local food and pastries are great. The architecture of the city is wonderful. I really enjoyed it. I really wanted to spend more hours in the cathedral, because it was a peaceful place for me. I already missed that place and I can’t wait to go back.
Sevda A — Google review
Everything about this building is extraordinary. The story of its history with a hermit finding the bones of James the apostle, all through to the current day with its modern pilgrims. The old town in which it is situated is a UNESCO world heritage place and is absolutely charming. Worth the visit to Northern Spain to see.
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is definitely a special place. People from all over the world come here after days—or even weeks—of exhaustion and devotion. Standing in the main square, you can see countless pilgrims celebrating their incredible accomplishments.
The cathedral itself is stunning. Interestingly, some parts are built in the Manueline style, giving it a unique character. The main altar is breathtaking, but for me, the most memorable part was the fragrance that fills the space—a rich blend of myrrh and incense that stays with you long after you leave.
This is absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Galicia. I came as part of a tour, but even though I’m not religious, I would love to walk the Camino someday.
The cathedral marks the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and is believed to house the remains of Saint James, one of Jesus’s apostles. Construction began in 1075 and was completed in 1211, with major renovations from the 16th to the 18th centuries that blended Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles into a single monumental structure. Pilgrims traditionally finish their journey by giving a gentle embrace to the back of Saint James’s statue inside the cathedral. One of its most famous features is the Botafumeiro, the world’s largest censer, which swings dramatically from the ceiling during special masses and on the Feast of Saint James (July 25), symbolizing the purification of the sacred space. The main cathedral is free to enter, while access to the museum, roof, and towers requires a ticket. The Pórtico de la Gloria, a Romanesque masterpiece completed by Maestro Mateo in 1188, can be reached through the museum entrance.
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is without a doubt the most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen, both from the outside and the inside. Its grand façade, incredible detail, and sheer presence are breathtaking before you even step inside. But once you do, the interior is even more stunning — rich in history, art, and a powerful spiritual atmosphere that stays with you.
We visited as part of a day tour and were fortunate to have a guided interior visit. The cathedral guide was excellent and we were given earphones so we could clearly hear everything. Learning about the architecture, the traditions, and the significance of this sacred site added so much depth to the experience.
The highlight for me was the moment we had the chance to hug the relic of Saint James. It was deeply emotional and something I will always remember.
Whether you are drawn by faith, art, history, or architecture, this cathedral is an absolute must-see. It is a place that moves you and leaves a lasting impression.
We walked 100 KM of the Camino De Santiago in 5 days and arrived at this absolutely magnificent church. It is so SO stunning and so big. I felt so awed by how impressive it was. The details are so intricate and the whole thing is just massive - it is such a gorgeous sight.
I believe that the monument I saw in Santiago was the most pleasant! It was filled with pilgrims who had arrived after days of walking! It is truly emotional. It is a massive cathedral with numerous museums to explore. I highly recommend it.
By far the most beautiful cathedral I have seen inside and out. Maybe that’s because I traveled miles by foot to see it but I was truly astonished. I attended the pilgrims mass and even though they said no phones everyone was recording and taking photos which kind of ruined the ambiance.

Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
Mentioned on
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is a magnificent Romanesque structure and a renowned pilgrimage site, featuring the impressive carved arched portico by Master Mateo. The cathedral has undergone various extensions and incorporates elements of Renaissance, Baroque, and Neo-Classical styles. Its different facades showcase diverse architectural influences, from Baroque to Neoclassical.
The architect of this cathedral is beyond amazing, it’s unbelievable. The inside of the cathedral is so stunning, and incredibly beautiful. I had a wonderful experience in the city of Santiago. It’s super nice and clean. The local food and pastries are great. The architecture of the city is wonderful. I really enjoyed it. I really wanted to spend more hours in the cathedral, because it was a peaceful place for me. I already missed that place and I can’t wait to go back.

Everything about this building is extraordinary. The story of its history with a hermit finding the bones of James the apostle, all through to the current day with its modern pilgrims. The old town in which it is situated is a UNESCO world heritage place and is absolutely charming. Worth the visit to Northern Spain to see.
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is definitely a special place. People from all over the world come here after days—or even weeks—of exhaustion and devotion. Standing in the main square, you can see countless pilgrims celebrating their incredible accomplishments.
The cathedral itself is stunning. Interestingly, some parts are built in the Manueline style, giving it a unique character. The main altar is breathtaking, but for me, the most memorable part was the fragrance that fills the space—a rich blend of myrrh and incense that stays with you long after you leave.
This is absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Galicia. I came as part of a tour, but even though I’m not religious, I would love to walk the Camino someday.
The cathedral marks the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and is believed to house the remains of Saint James, one of Jesus’s apostles. Construction began in 1075 and was completed in 1211, with major renovations from the 16th to the 18th centuries that blended Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles into a single monumental structure. Pilgrims traditionally finish their journey by giving a gentle embrace to the back of Saint James’s statue inside the cathedral. One of its most famous features is the Botafumeiro, the world’s largest censer, which swings dramatically from the ceiling during special masses and on the Feast of Saint James (July 25), symbolizing the purification of the sacred space. The main cathedral is free to enter, while access to the museum, roof, and towers requires a ticket. The Pórtico de la Gloria, a Romanesque masterpiece completed by Maestro Mateo in 1188, can be reached through the museum entrance.
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is without a doubt the most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen, both from the outside and the inside. Its grand façade, incredible detail, and sheer presence are breathtaking before you even step inside. But once you do, the interior is even more stunning — rich in history, art, and a powerful spiritual atmosphere that stays with you.

Fragas do Eume
Mentioned on
Nature preserve
Nature & Parks
Fragas do Eume is a well-preserved Atlantic forest situated along the river of the same name. The forest is characterized by oak and birch trees, with hiking trails for visitors to explore. A medieval monastery complex can also be found within the preserve, surrounded by ruins waiting to be explored. The ancient fern forest adds to its mystique, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts. A taxi ride from the city center is recommended as it takes approximately 2.
We truly enjoyed a late afternoon, early evening walk in this park. There are a number of parking spots and walking beside the river was very relaxing. It is very clean with work being done on the first bridge. Will be back to try more paths. Great to commune with nature and a place to relax at the end of a long day.

Beautiful! Amazing! You can take a taxi to the entrance and then take a free bus that can take you to the Monastery or you can walk there, it's 8km or rent electric bikes. We rent the bikes because you can stop on the way and admire the view or take pictures. The taxi it's 11€.
It's beautiful, but that's pretty much how most of Galicia looks. There are several picnic areas.
There are no paths through the forest itself, (or we didn't find them). The bridge is closed for repairs.
The oceanic park is enormous, and it's one of the best-preserved and largest in Europe. The only downside is that the walk through nature is done on a paved path, which creates a barrier and somewhat disrupts the connection with the natural environment.
Beautiful area with gorgeous views. Bring lunch and have a picnic. You can take your dog too! Parking is limited so go early! Tip: if the guard says there's no more parking left, wait a bit because as cars leave, they let cars go up.
Be prepared to walk a lot, up and downhill. Weather was perfect when we visited. Lush greenery, fresh and clear water in the lakes, lovely little waterfalls, beautiful mountain views. Great smoothies at the small cafe, not too far from the monastery, to end our trip.
Lovely forest with reasonable trails, lots of nooks and crannies to look around. Not the best signed for where to go, and the phone signal is rough as hell, but most of the rivers are clear as anything, loads of shade and easy routes everywhere. If you are not steady on your feet, could be a little hazardous at times, but I guess you wouldn't be going for a hike if you went capable. Enjoy
Worth the walk. It takes you about 8 kilometres to reaches the monastery. The walk is very pleasant. You can cross the briges to access a more seculated path way, away from the passing bus every 30 minutes. The view is absolutely spectacular and you can see some deers and otters if you're lucky. Most of the visitors are Galician or pilgrims.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Aquarium Finisterrae, located in A Coruna, offers a modern and interactive experience with indoor and outdoor pools showcasing a variety of marine life including fish, sharks, seals, and rays. The aquarium is part of the city's more contemporary attractions along with the Domus and the Science Museum. A Coruna itself has a rich historical background dating back to Roman times when it served as an important port on navigation routes.
Nice trip around the aquarium. Interactive for children. Highlight was staff feeding the 10? seals at 12 noon. Nautilus downstairs was interesting too, a 360 degrees panorama of fish tank.
We also spotted some cleaning going on, as in photo..
K D — Google review
Lovely visit to to Aquarium Finsterrae entrance was €10.30 per adult. Highlight of the Aquarium was the seals, several tanks featuring various species. Also on site is a gift shop. Staff were helpful and bi lingual so for the English among us there's no problem communicating. Location is easy to walk from Hercules Tower. Thankyou to the staff that made us feel so welcome.
Well worth a visit
Fantastic value for money. Bargain
Great Aquarium, great outdoor with Seals and the fish
A lot bigger than what you think
Very tidy
Great shop
Staff fantastic
We went from cruise ship , easy to walk to.
Beautiful aquarium. It’s mostly in Spanish for those non-Spanish speakers. The exhibits are top notch and so educational. The marine life are varied. It’s a must see. Ask how the got their name!
Nice aquarium with outdoor attraction of seals (only feeding and spain talk about them). Inside there are nice aqariums and many talking about fishes and sea
But in spain only - no english.
Ticket was fine price (family 28€) and you can pay by card.
Great place to visit good value for money, only downside is there isn't much English translation mostly everything is in Spanish
came here as a kid, around 15 years ago, and a lot has changed, some for the better, some for the worse, now they have got seals, which are super cute and seem happy enough, a lot of new exhibits and animals, but at the same time, less diversity in the big tanks, only one shark, some leaks and many computers and things you should be able to interact with that don't work or are incomplete. I still recommend the experience, especially for little kids or for people who enjoy sea life, I just hope they fix it up and add more sharks, like when I was a kid.
The Aquarium Finisterrae was impressively clean and well-maintained. All the fish appeared healthy and vibrant, swimming energetically in their tanks. The informational signs were thorough and engaging, providing valuable insights about the various species on display. Although the aquarium is relatively small, it offered a rich experience, showcasing a diverse range of marine life and creating an immersive environment for visitors.

Torre de Hércules
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Torre de Hércules, located in A Coruna, Spain, is an ancient Roman lighthouse that stands at 55 meters tall and is the second tallest in the country. It was originally built during the reign of Trajan and has been functioning since then. The lighthouse offers stunning views of the city and coastline from its top, which can be reached by climbing 245 steps.
Definitely the most important landmark of the city and most likely one of the most of northern Spain and Spain itself you’ll get not only immerse at the ancient story of this place, but also in a great views of the whole city and the ocean
this place is amazing very well conserved and the tickets were actually very affordable. No doubt you should make this one of her stops my wife and I visit this during the morning and it was very affordable.
The climb is moderate hard, bring, of course comfortable clothes and shoes it takes 15 minutes to 20 minutes climbing stairs to get up there, but you can rest up there enjoying a great views
just heads up. Be careful of people asking for money in the parking lot. Just stay away if you can get there by public transit better.
Marcos D — Google review
Ticket boot is placed far away from the tower, so if you're coming a different way (from beach) you're going to miss it and you cannot enter. Online tickets are sold out as a rule. Anyway you can walk around and enjoy the wind from the ocean 🌊
We visited as part of a cruise stop in August. It's Worth being driven to the foot as its an uphill walk. The views get amazing with each step but it does require some exertion.
If you want to see the roman ruins inside you need to book tickets. They are not sold at the entry so best check online.
If you're tall, you will not be able to walk up straight in some areas but the lightening is good and artefacts are well labeled.
There are stone stairs, at least 200, leading to the top of the tower which has even more majestic views. I advise pacing yourself and not being in a hurry to enjoy it fully and take time to catch your breath. Unless you're fit, don't have kids or the elderly with you. If you're claustrophobic this is not for you. Would highly recommend and would revisit at a more leisurely pace in the future. Don't forget to buy the tickets before arriving! You will certainly get your step count in!
A spectacular feat of engineering of it's day, understanding the strategic and commercial importance of why it was built is a story in itself. Entry is by ticket purchased at the bottom of the long ramp or on line. Entry is every 30 minutes for a limited number of people ( perhaps 30) there is no one to hurry you and you could stay longer. There is an exhibition of it's history at the lower level then 234 steps (and no lift ;-) ). My only constructive criticism is that the information boards are poorly placed and not illuminated. I couldn't manage to read many of them.
I would highly recommend you to purchase tickets online. We got here at 2 o'clock and there was no line, and there was nobody here, but they refused to sell tickets, it is a beautiful place. It could be a wonderful sunset. It's a wonderful place to walk around lots to see just to the south, there's more stuff to see if you continue to walk down the boardwalk, I would suggest you be prepared to walk a long way up a hill, if you do not. Have the right shoes nor or have the ability to do so I would think twice about going there. It offers wonderful. It's sunset photos as well as evening photos at night with the lights during the day. They sell ice cream and drinks at night. There is nothing there. There's plenty of parking down on the bottom. And it appears that you can drive up the ramp, if you're handicapped, it does it appear that there is parking but I did see cars parking up there. On the hill, by the door.
The Torre de Hércules is more than a lighthouse — it’s a symbol of A Coruña’s identity. Visiting it is like stepping back in time, while enjoying some of the most spectacular views in Galicia. An absolute must-see for anyone coming to this beautiful coastal city
Torre de Hercules was such an amazing place to visit! The family had so much fun exploring the grounds. The views were amazing!
The Torre de Hércules in A Coruña is seriously impressive—it’s actually the oldest working lighthouse in the world, dating back nearly 2,000 years to Roman times. Even without going inside, just walking around it is worth the visit. The views of the sea and the city from the cliffs nearby are absolutely stunning. It’s the kind of place where you can just stand and take it all in for a while. There’s a nice open feel to the area, and the mix of history and ocean makes it a really memorable stop.

Organised coach short tour via our cruise company, experienced local guide, font of knowledge, included visit to this park with on site restaurant/wedding venue; well looked after with tasty examples of tapas, tea/coffee & glass of wine. Great views of the city and its harbours, plus our cruise ship, in the middle distance.
We visited the park on a trip from our cruise ship. It was a miserable day, so unfortunately we didn't get many good views. But I can appreciate that in sunshine it would look pretty nice.
I had a very nice time exploring the landscapes and views of this area. I didn’t go to the botanical gardens. The views are outstanding
Highly recommended for the beautiful views and photo ops. A must for new visitors to Coruña, especially if enjoying a sunny and bright day.
Wonderful place with spectacular year views of the city and the ocean. And lots of history.
best view on A Coruña and the ocean, worth a visit when in town
Beautiful park with gorgeous views! Definitely check out the bush maze and the cúpula which has additional pretty vistas and also an interactive map you can spin. A must visit for anyone visiting La Coruña!

(Translated by Google) We stayed in the summer for a few days and the house was very cool, although the power went out often when cooking, but the owner solved it for us right away. Cold water came out in some bathrooms. And the reason why I was least happy was because we brought pets and where we booked (Airbnb) didn't say anything about charging for them and when we got there the owner "nailed us" with 30 euros for each one, the truth is that it seemed like a huge blow to me. Otherwise good
(Original)
Estuvimos en verano unos días y la casa muy chula, aunque se nos iba la luz seguido al cocinar, pero el dueño nos lo resolvió enseguida.En algún baño salía el agua fría. Y por lo que menos contenta vine fue porque llevamos mascotas y donde reservamos(airbnb)no ponía nada de que cobraran por ellas y cuando llegamos allí el dueño nos “clavó “30 euros por cada una, la verdad me pareció un sablazo. Por lo demás bien
(Translated by Google) The house was good, clean and good layout, although the kitchen was poorly equipped... The contact person was very bad... Attitude and comments were not very accurate (it has heating and a washing machine... but if you don't ask him, he won't inform you). It doesn't have a pool.
