Day Trips

Begin traveling to the South of Galicia region, where you will pass small towns such as Iria Flavia, an important site of Roman emperors. You will also pass Padron, a medieval town lying between the rivers Sar and Ulla, before arriving at Carril, where you will admire the view of Cortegada Island.

After Carril, visit the town of Cambados, with the amazing 16th century Fefinanes Palace, and its busy port and fish market.

Next stop is Toxa, a dream-like island, nowadays a very up-market tourist destination with the best hotels and spas in the Region. On this island they produce the famous black soap of La Toja. You will have lunch at a typical restaurant in the beautiful seaside town of Sanxenxo.

After lunch, you will visit Combarro, declared a monumental town because of its narrow medieval streets, granaries and stone-crosses.

The last stop before returning to Santiago is the city of Pontevedra, the provincial capital, surrounded by Lerez river. In this pretty city, a walking tour will take you to see St. Mary's, San Francisco and the Pilgrim Madonna churches.
