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.

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. (Original) 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.

(Translated by Google) Oh boy, think of a relaxing place, good to be with family and friends. (Original) rapaz do céu, pensa numa lugar relaxante, bom para estar com família e amigos.

Nice Church by Galician Architect Antonio Palacios in centre of town. Worth a stroll around it and inside. Beautiful stonework on facade with architectural details from modernist architect.

Stunning marriage of architectural styles.

Parish church constructed between 1944 and 1957, designed by architect Antonio Palacios, who, having died in 1945 never would have seen his masterpiece completed.

Unusual architecture for a modern church. Looks bigger on the outside than what it's is inside.

Monumental

A very interesting modern church, it seems much bigger on the outside.

Beautiful church. Highly recommended.

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.

Amazing place in summer to do some small river swimmimg. but not much place to sit. you probably will have to sit on stones. take your slippers to walk through river more easily. A bit crowded as well. But you should like the place if you are into nature and such.

There is a easy hiking trial that will bring you to all waterfalls within a 2 kilometer radius. If you like waterfalls do download a hiking app and explore..

My favorite waterfall in the national park! The parking is a 15 min walk from the lagune. We visited in the evening around 6:30pm and had the place almost to ourselves.

It’s such a cool place feels like a paradise, be mindful with shoes and I wouldn’t suggest to take really small kids it’s quite hard to get down there and quite dangerous

Very beautiful, but very dangerous too! The access to the waterfall is difficult and it’s cold and hard to swim. I don’t intend to return, but for the beauty of the place, I give it a good review.

The location is amazing. Don't forget to park your car at the parking lot five minutes away. Bring a towel and don't be afraid to dip your toes in the water.

is arguably the best waterfall in Gerês, especially around 19:00, when the crowd thins out and the golden light makes it perfect for photography 🌅. The emerald-green plunge pool below the falls is serene and inviting, making this a truly memorable spot . --- 🌟 Why It's Top Tier One of the most scenic and accessible waterfalls in Peneda-Gerês, offering a beautiful natural pool ideal for cooling off during warm months . Framed by rugged cliffs and lush forest, the setting is dramatic and photogenic — with great light late afternoon and early evening . Rated impressively high by visitors and consistently referenced as a highlight of the region . --- 🕖 Best Time to Visit Aim to arrive around 7:00 PM — fewer people and warm, angled lighting for stunning photos. Morning visits work too, but evenings offer a quieter and visually richer experience. --- 🥾 Access & Hiking Park about 700 m from the waterfall, typically at the former border station, and walk the shaded road toward the waterfall . The final descent to the pool involves walking on rocks and uneven terrain — go slow, especially after rain . --- 🏞 Adventure & Extras The area is bordered by Mata de Albergaria forest and the rugged terrain fits for adventurous souls. Beyond the main waterfall, the river upstream leads to other hidden pools and cascades. Many travelers call it the emerald oasis of Gerês, perfect for swimming, exploring, and snapping unbeatable shots — just remember to respect the nature and not swim into restricted zones . --- **For more tips follow me on Google.

A short 15 min or so hike up to the ruins. The views are stunning! Just note that the air IS thinner up in this town and so you may notice huffing and puffing a little more than usual on the walk up and down. I have slightly compromised lungs and noticed but it wasn't anything too concerning. Some of the best views in Portugal in my opinion!

Lovely short walk to the top with outstanding views and remnants of the castle ramparts to explore. The walk up is quite a steep climb but well worth the effort. The monument to the local working dog breed who helped shape the livelihoods of the people of the area is a very appropriate tribute.

The castle was nice with a breathtaking view. The walk/hike up was refreshing but I do recommend to avoid it during the warmest hours during summer as it will get quite hot and there's really no shade to be found.

Loved to film it with the drone, but must be hard to acce d, totally LOTR vibe

Really good views (assuming it isn't raining). Easy walk from town with steps and handrails. Possessed of big lizards, almost Dragon sized, (very small dragons early season 1 GOT sized).

A short but steep hike up to the castle ruins. Absolutely stunning views from the top. Plenty of parking and cafes in the nearby town, a few steps from the trailhead

Free access. Beautiful viewings of the valley and surrounding mountains and hills.

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.

Expectacular

Amazing, one of the coolest waterfalls I've ever seen!

Stayed free in this charming little village/town with the most amazing and well preserved/restored castle . There is a small cover charge €3 per adult from memory and it’s well worth the money . Walking around the tops of the walls gives you a sense of what it must have been like back in the day with an advancing army, they have the castle laid out in such a way that you can learn of the past as you walk slowly around this lovely structure. It is well worth visit and I fully recommend it .

Incredible medieval castle with breathtaking views! The Castle of Lindoso is absolutely worth the visit! Perched high above the village, it offers stunning panoramic views of the mountains and valley below. The castle itself is beautifully preserved — you can walk around the old walls, explore the towers, and really get a feel for what life might have been like centuries ago. Right outside the castle are the traditional espigueiros (stone granaries), which make the whole place even more special — it’s like stepping back in time. The combination of history, nature, and local culture is just perfect. The surrounding village is charming and quiet, and the people are very friendly. It’s a peaceful place where you can take your time, enjoy the atmosphere, and take amazing photos. If you love history, architecture, or just discovering authentic spots in Portugal, don’t miss this one!

Enjoyed this place! You can walk the outer castle wall for free, and then pay 1.50€ to walk around the inside wall, and go up into the tower. There are some archeological items on display there too. There is also a very cool community oven to view. Worth a stop if you are in or around the national park.

Interesting Castle with fascinating raised granaries. The granaries that surround Castle Lindoso are known as espigueiros, distinctive stone granaries built primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries to dry and store corn and other grains. Each granary is entirely made of stone and raised on pillars to protect the stored grain from rodents and damp. The walls have slits for ventilation, helping to keep the grain dry. The roofs are formed by granite slabs joined at an angle, and a stone cross on the top is a common feature intended to ward off evil spirits and thieves.

Unique area with the traditional silos...

A nice small slice of history en route to the national park. There is not much to see here as the castle seems to have been more of an outpost near the border with Spain. It costs 1.50 Euros to see the inside and the tower. There are audio plays and information in Portuguese about the castle.

Beautiful surroundings with a lot of Granaries next to the castle.

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.

Excellent varied garden with water features, terraces, camellia hedges and tunnels as well as standard camellias and fruit trees. Attractive buildings and garden features. Allow one to two hours for the garden.

Very beautiful gardens, a little bit expensive. The entrance costs 10 euros.

Very beautiful gardens. Very well kept, streams, vineyards, kitchen garden, rose gardens. Very beautiful area. Recommended.

Highly recommend these beautiful gardens well worth a visit. Well sign posted and parking was available. Buy tickets on the door. Tip: dont buy online tickets the website is misleading and we ended up being directed to purchase another foundation run property in Seville. We are still trying to get a refund.

Far too expensive for what it's offering; € 10 for basically nothing. Also, it seems very neglected all around which is rather off-putting.

Worth the trip from Santiago. We spent 2 hours exploring!

Stunning setting for an amazing wedding. Great food and amazing service.

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! (Original) El Palacio del Agua del Balneario de Mondariz dispone de unas espectaculares instalaciones en un entorno privilegiado. Visita obligada si estáis en Galicia o si simplemente queréis pasar un fin de semana de desconexión lejos del estrés .

Es cierto que 2 saunas de las 6 que tienen no funcionaban, espero que lo arreglen pronto. A pesar de ello, las 5 estrellas se las doy porque el trato de todo el personal lo compensa. Muchas Gracias a Belén, Cali y Pili de Recepción y a David, Sebas y Julián los Socorristas por el trato y la atención. 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!

Quite a step climb and lots of steps, obviously, to this rebuilt castle. It is a guided tour only, viewing videos of actors explaining the history of the castle. It was in Spanish although they have the videos in English as well. The guide was very helpful and for 4 euros per person very reasonable, they only take a card not cash. The views of the countryside are stunning.

Small castle in perfect condition and with magnificent views from the tower. Has a small exhibition inside. 30 minutes will be enough for the visit. Definitely " vale a pena" PS Be aware of siesta hours !)

This is one of most beautiful castles in Galicia dating back to early 12th Century & is situated on Landín Hill 334 m above sea level overlooking Condado valley & River Tea close to Portuguese border in dense 30 hectares of woodland ( with over 40 different species of trees). You can see over 100 villages from top !! It's named after the cork trees which once stood here. It's in Ponteareas Council area. The scene of alot of conflicts between those trying to gain control of it.

Great castle, very helpful guides and experience

Nice walk

Situado en una zona bonita. Situated in a nice little mountain. Nice on the outside. Did not go inside so I can't say much.

Galicia is just a magical beautiful place

It was an enjoyable experience with the food quality, the attentive service and its setting in the well preserved old quarter. Especially the delicious well cooked Dorada with crispy skin. The recommended aged Albariño from a small winery was wonderful and very reasonably priced.

Absolutely fantastic experience! An exceptional delight in a restaurant dead centre between the hustle and bustle of Pontevedra. Starters where magnificent taking us on a journey of Galician tradition updated to today with a simplicity nearing perfection. This is worth many stars in my book!

If you like fish then this is the place to go. A 1 michelin star fish restaurant that is punching way above its weight class and wouldn't surprise me if it add a second star soon. Now let's get down to a review, if you don't like fish then you might struggle a little bit, the starter course on the A la Carte menu is a little bit limited and the fixed menus are not going to be for you. However if you do like fish then you are going to be in heaven. An amuse bouche started things off with percebes in miso and some freshly made bread which was absolutely delightful. For me being a non-fish eater (the rest of the family adore it) I had a main course of local Galician Beef with a date compote and a sprinkling of veg which was simple amazing. What you do have to seriously remember though is to leave room for pudding as if the fish is good in this restaurant the deserts are even better. I had a desert which was a play on coffe with a coffe based sponge, cofeee ice cream and coffee paper (??!!..but it worked and tasted of coffee) which was simply amazing. Now comes the painful bit (which really was reasonable for what we had) for four of us (2 adults and 2 chuldren) the bill was €172 without wine but the quality that we had this was actually very reasonable. The $64million question...would I go again? In a heartbeat.. this place is fantastic and a little gem in Pontavedra.

The food was good. The service was appalling. Fish was fresh and cooked to perfection however i wished it had more vegetables on the side or a little bit more mash potato or greens. Lamb was okay - nothing special, again could have used more veggies on the side not just for decoration. The bean dish was very well balanced and the fish super tender good. The coffee quality is not great. I wished they bought better coffee beans. Loved the presentation, the tableware was of premium quality and even some of the cutlery was Cutipol, which I appreciated. Negative: the service was very rude, the guy (Rogelio) that served us had a very bad attitude almost throwing the plates in our table, he literally looked like he hated working there. I asked to please take a picture of the wine bottle i was drinking and when he brought it back he basically slammed it on the table, my husband and I were shocked. No one asked us once how was the food, if we were enjoying it or needed anything else. Besides bringing us the dishes, the service was non existent. For a €130 bill i expect more from service, so I will not be coming back. Plenty good food elsewhere in Galicia with better customer service.

Nice location. Great local food cooked with talent. Prices are a bit high for Galicia, but the quality ratio is excellent. It’s like a Michelin star restaurant. Although they don’t have.

we had the short menu (9 dishes including desserts) and was perfectly enough for a dinner. the tuna (with a perfect spicy touch) and the egg (the mix between egg and Galician cheese is amazing) were the best. Special mention for the desserts, both of them were awesome. it definitely worth it. just to comment a point that could be checked, it was a bit hot in the restaurant (not enough to be uncomfortable) I was wondering if it was because of the government's energy policies, but all the windows were open.

What a surprising, delicious, inspirational meal. Also the wine-spice was really well balanced and interesting. Loved it!

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

Simply stunning Roman bridge , walking over it and imagining how many people and years it took to build and the innovation of the era simply blows my mind and it still stands very proud . The arches of the bridge are illuminated with a long string of lights either side every night and is lovely to see . This is “a have to experience” piece of history for all to enjoy.

Beautiful bridge and views. The towns around it are quaint and nice.

Medieval roman bridge which gives town its name Ponte da Lima. Beautiful sight in evening. We have visited two times and it is a lovely place to spend some time. Walk across the bridge. Area around has lots of restaurants and cafe.

Beautful spot. Take a detour to visit Ponte de Lima for this bridge alone but take the time to have a wonder around...

Very nice and romantic place for a stroll with your spouse. Mid July quiet but I hear it gets very much crowded in August with the flee market installed along the shore of the river.

This is true gem on camino portuguese. Ponte de Lima and its bridge give an authentic feeling of medieval Europe. One of the prettiest mid size towns in Portugal. Must see

Beautiful bridge to walk on. Great views from either side. An ode to historical conservation in Portugal.

A long walk along a very rough pathway, wear sturdy footwear and look down as there are a lot of loose stones. Nice to see, but a bit underwhelming. The "replica viking boats" were not what I expected, I thought that you would be able to go onboard and have a trip down the river, but that was because I had seen a photo of that happening. Lovely peaceful countryside all around.

Great place to walk around, either kids or elder people, with some historic background.

Nice little walk in the inlet area

It was really nice place to visit

Nice place, nothing spectacular, it was on our way and worth a short break

Tucked under the main road bridge. A lovely park with ruined castle on the banks of the river. Odd site but rather lovely. Recommended if you are in the area. Here's a photo but it doesn't do justice to the location or the viking boats moored up beside it.

Pretty nice

We arrived in the morning and it wasn’t possible to go in as the “tour” didn’t start until 10! Just put our head into the entrance for a snap. That is all the time it was worth even if you wanted to spend for € for audio guide of garden and the tower. We were on bikes and the effort to navigate the steep cobblestone streets wasn’t worth the effort. There are better ones out there that don’t charge.

Not as large as I expected, but a nice cloister with a garden under renovation. A good view on the river behind the cloister and a lot of gilded wood in the he samctuary. One chapel was converted to a small museum of interest mostly if you're interested in liturgical garments and alter finery.

Went early to start the my walk so it was closed (no stamp for me-womp). But great architecture and there's an albergues/cafe close by if a cafecito is needed!

Very beautiful and underrated place! It could become a huge attraction in Galicia, missed opportunity. Everything is beautiful, the exterior, interior, the garden and the views from the tower. There's an entrance fee but totally worth it!

A very good place to visit. It's very beautiful and I liked the architecture so much.

Beautiful Cathedral, €4 per entrence for adults, children under 12 can go in for free. You get a audio headphone with info about the place. Plenty of old sacred relics to see. And of course the panoramic view over the river which is absolutely breathtaking.

Beautiful cathedral, worth the visit. You can scan a qr code and listen to a guided tour on your own phone in several languages which was a great feature, so i recommend you bring earphones. Very interesting to learn about its history while walking around.

I used Tuitrans to transport my bag on the Camino Portuguese in May. The service delivered the bag during the 15 days of walking without fail. I had one accomidation which did not have a reception. Not a problem. Tuitrans provide a location at a nearby restaurant for bag pick up and drop off. This was the first time I used a bag service on the Camino and I was very pleased. I'm getting old and the bag service will allow me to stay on the camino a few more years. Thanks Tuitrans. Oh and the people were great.

Great company . Our bags were always delivered before our arrival at the next destination. Smooth sailing on the Camino .

They are a secure and trustworthy company that allows our travelers to focus on their walk without any worries. ​For a smooth and secure Camino journey, Tuitrans is our go-to partner.

My cousins and I just walked the Camino Portugués, Spiritual Variant and I would like to recognize Tuitrans and their wonderful staff for making the journey a little easier. After booking our accommodations, we learned that not all luggage transfer companies service the Spiritual Variant. Tuitrans services that route and their staff worked with us behind the scenes to ensure that our reservation was accurate and drop-off and pick-up points were clearly communicated. Only two properties were not serviceable, but this was no problem for Tuitrans, as they quickly provided alternative locations which were easily accessible and near our accommodations. Our four (4) luggages made it from point to point in a timely manner and were always awaiting our arrival. Tuitrans offers competitive prices and reliable service. We will definitely use them again on our next Camino and recommend that you do as well! Buen Camino, Peregrino!

Our experience with Tuitrans was flawless. From the booking process, setting our itinerary on The Portuguese Coastal Route, payment, and a date change, they know what they are doing and made our journey all the more enjoyable. During our Camino, our two bags were handled exactly as promised. It was such a joy to see our bags front and center at each layover point. We found ourselves promoting their services to many other pilgrims we met during our trip. The service was affordable, reliable, and perfectly carried out. Thank you Tuitrans!

Thank you for your great service! I used Tuitrans to transport my luggage for my Portuguese Coastal Camino from Porto all the way to Santiago de Compostela including the spiritual variant and had absolutely no issues, my bags were picked up and waiting for me at every location when I got there in the afternoon. I even had to adjust one of my accommodations the night before and they were very responsive and it was easy to switch. Great job! I highly recommend their service and level of communication was outstanding from the moment I reached out to start planning and they easily accommodated multiple changes I made before we finalized the route.

Tuitrans was fantastic. They were so easy to deal with, they got back to me right away, they cleared up any questions or confusion that I had, and everyday when we were in Portugal and Spain, our luggage beat us there. It was so nice to arrive at our hostel and see our luggage sitting there. Very reassuring and comforting.

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.

Loved the place lots of uphill walking but worth the view of the harbour and surrounding area.

Excellent place to visit, a must I would say with clear skies. Awesome views with a mix of ancient history

Magnificent views overlooking Vigo in a place full of historical significance.

Histotic setting and great views over the city and water

Best spot, to see the sunset in Vigo! You can see all of the ocean, the Cies Islands, the bridge! I totally recommend it to everyone. Don't go without a cerveza! For picknick with your friends, it's the best as well!! Also, you can run and do sports around it, the best to do in the sunrise or sunset;)

At the top of the mountain, right in the middle of the fortress that crowns it, some walls from the 17th century that today are the best vantage point of Vigo and the estuary to the Atlantic Ocean. Within these walls are the castle of O Castro and its gardens, as well as sculptures such as the monument to Vigo by Camilo Nogueira or the tribute to the medieval poet Martín Codax. Walking down the paths bordering the fortifications towards the historic quarter, you will come to a new vantage point where the Rande Galleons Monument is located.. It consists of anchors and various cannons that were found from three of the dozens of ships sunk in the Vigo estuary during the Battle of the Rande in 1702, when the Anglo-Dutch fleet and a Spanish fleet escorted by a French collided. Very interesting place, a gem in history.

Great views of Vigo got lucky with parki g as this is limited so would advise an early visit. Nice cafe on site as well for refreshments afterwards 👍

Large beach, soft sand, free parking lots with many free spaces. Nearby along the beach there are free swimming pools for children under 12 years old and picnic zone. A good place to relax.

A beautiful, beautiful beach! We were there on July 4th and the water was ice cold! but it's an amazing spot.

It is certainly the most frequented beach in Vigo, yet it is also quite beautiful. During the summer, one can find beach bars and pools for children. It is a pleasant location to unwind and witness stunning sunsets in the autumn.

Better go to Cangas or somewhere else. After seeing tens of Galician beaches this one wasn't impressive because the water is dirty and isn't for swimming in my opinion. But for sunbathing the beach is enough and there are also small parks around. Toilets and showers are available too

Excellent place to relax, especially to watch the sunset.

A very nice beach. No seaweed

Very nice beach

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable experience, a super fun crew, they tell you anecdotes and stories from the rafts, they give you all kinds of soft drinks and mussels to spare, and they dance and entertain you constantly. Personalized attention if you have questions about the history of the area and the mussels. Personally, the customer service is unbeatable. I highly recommend it. (Original) Una experiencia inolvidable, tripulación súper divertida, te explican anécdotas, historias de las bateas, te dan todo tipo de refrescos y mejillones para aburrir, baile y animación en todo momento. Una atención personalizada si tienes dudas sobre la historia de la zona y sobre los mejillones. Personalmente la atención al cliente inmejorable lo recomiendo 100x100.🔝🔝

(Translated by Google) It wasn't anything special. The ferry ride was okay and nothing special. The best part was Tamara, the guide, who gave us a wonderful explanation of our tour of the island. (Original) No fue nada especial. El trayecto en el ferry fue correcto y sin mas. Lo mejor Támara, la guía que nos explicó fenomenal el recorrido que hicimos por la isla.

(Translated by Google) A highly recommended experience: a walk along the estuary and an explanation of the area, especially mussel farming, with an up-close look at a raft and underwater views of the ropes. Enjoy a tasting of a large selection of excellent mussels and white wine. (Original) Una experiencia súper recomendable de paseo por la ría y explicación de la zona y especialmente del cultivo de mejillones con aproximación a una batea con visión submarina a las cuerdas. Degustación de una gran cantidad de mejillones muy buenos y vino blanco.

(Translated by Google) We took the trip to the mussel farms in the Pontevedra estuary with Cruceros Rías Baixas. A crew member livened up the trip with explanations about the coast. Upon arriving at the raft, in addition to explaining how mussels are farmed (very interesting), we could see the submerged part from the boat's underwater viewing areas. On the return trip, we enjoyed tasting trays of mussels with a bottle of Albariño, or water and soft drinks, accompanied by lively music. The crew was very pleasant, especially the person giving the explanations. It was a lot of fun. We had a great time. (Original) Hicimos el viaje a las mejilloneras de la ría de Pontevedra con Cruceros Rías Baixas. Una persona de la tripulación iba amenizando el viaje con explicaciones sobre la costa. Al llegar a la batea, además de explicar cómo se cultiva el mejillón (muy curioso), se podía ver la parte sumergida, desde las zonas de visión submarina del barco. En el viaje de vuelta, degustación de bandejas de mejillones con una botella de albariño, o agua y refrescos, con música animada. Muy agradable la tripulación, principalmente la persona que daba las explicaciones. Ha sido muy divertida. Nos lo hemos pasado muy bien.

(Translated by Google) Very punctual and very friendly staff!!! Highly recommended!!!!! (Original) Muy puntuales y personal muy amable!!! Más que recomendable!!!!!

(Translated by Google) Very good. Recommended. (Original) Muy bien. Recomendable

(Translated by Google) Excellent service, polite and attentive. The island is worth seeing. Beautiful. You can't miss it. (Original) Buena atención, educados y atentos. La isla es digna de ver. Preciosa. No se puede pasar sin ir a ella.

Amazing beaches. I went in early May and they weren't crowded at all. The sole reason to visit Vigo.

A beautiful wild natural park..with paved walking routes and a campsite. It is spark so You can either walk, swim or take a picnic. Be careful of the seagulls, one of them swooped down and stole my lunch at the restaurant at the port.

Wow, what a beautiful place. Please note, you should leave 1h for parking in Vigo and getting your tickets. Ships are all on time so don’t be late. The island itself is incredible, you easily can spend 6-7 h especially if the weather is warm. The white sand beaches are amazing, the same as very blue ocean. I would recommend to spend one night in the camping, a pity we didn’t do that. Come here, you won’t regret!

Breath taking scenery. The large yellow bolders and rock added to the unique beauty of the mountains. The sand is soft like clay. You can walk and not have to worry about stepping on a hard rock. The water is clear and stunningly beautiful. It is quite cold though.

A place with wonderful nature. Worth a visit!

Just speechless! Amazing place on Earth, with white sandy beaches. I have never seen sooo white sand before like this island has. It’s like a 40 mins trip with Catamaran from mainland, not sure how much is it if you book independently, I went by cruise and booked the shore experience through the cruise line. There is a bar on the island, you can buy cold beverages and snacks too. Toilets are also provided. No rubbish bins on the islands, YOU MUST take all rubbish back with you, really important. You are allowed to swim in the ocean but not in the lake. Overall an amazing breathtaking place, highly recommended to visit.

Most beautiful beach in the world! Camping, hiking, kayaking and star gazing! The ultimate place to be one with nature. 2 restaurants and a bar. You can bring your own food and really do camping or eat at the restaurants. We did a little bit of both, mostly the alcohol part😛 coming from the USA we couldn't bring camping gear. They have everything you need but have still preserved the islands. They have kept it from becoming commercialized. There is a limit to how many people can visit a day.

We went on a rainy day and couldn’t see the beautiful views but the photo “mood” was fantastic. Very interesting site to learn more about the Celts!

Definitely worth visiting. Best place in Spanish Galicia! Iron Age Fort of Castro Culture rich in artefacts and amazing structures. Additionally view is outstanding from the top. There are two rebuild houses and many visible. On the top there is bar toilet, some gift shops etc. Remember to walk around and change path going down as there are more houses around not only on the main way!

A steep drive out of the village with the views only getting better and better. You pay a small entrance fee to a very happy gentleman in the ticket office. This gets you entry also to the museum. Lots of history and amazing views of the coast line.

Reel impressive view ..

Great learning experience along with amazing views. You can drive nearly to the summit and there is a parking area. Be careful because the parking lot is lot very big and is packed during peak tourism times. The views of the Atlantic Ocean, oceanside villages, Portugal, and other surrounding areas is breathtaking. There arestairs to the summit and it is NOT handicap accessible.

Wonderful! If you are nearby, get there and you won't regret. Beautiful view of the sea and the city of Guarda from high. Roman ruins from 2nd and 1st centuries B. C.

5 by 5 by 5 stars. Amazing place with things to do for all tastes. You can walk, bike or drive. There are views, and Instagramable spots, there is history, sea, hotel, beer it is well rounded experience off the beaten path.
