The landscape, with the untamed beauty of its features and hills which are like privileged balconies over the Rías Baixas, opens up to extensive white sandbanks and lagoons on the coast. One of the most remarkable features here is the dune complex of Corrubedo, which includes the lagoons of Carregal and Vixán. The area is also rich in megalithic and prehistoric monuments such as the spectacular Castro de Baroña, as well as in fishing villages with a past reaching back to the Middle Ages. In the Sierra de O Barbanza, thousands of horses and cows live in complete freedom, in touch with nature, among hills swept by the wind from the sea.

This is the same scenery featured in the film ‘The Sea Inside’, which won the 2005 Oscar for Best Foreign Film, by the director Alejandro Amenábar. It is based on the true story of Ramón Sampedro, who was paralysed from the neck down during 28 years after an accident among the extraordinary rocky cavities on As Furnas beach.

Our first stop will be a break to have a drink and a tapa of a typical culinary product of our city and so recharge batteries and continue with our guided tour.

We resume the tour but this time leaving behind the historic center towards what is the city outside the rampart of the old town where there is also a lot of history, as the old historic town also grew outside the wall and keeps much tradition in Compostela.

The last part of the tour, in form of food, takes us to the gastronomic experience. Different dishes, desserts and drinks from the Galician gastronomy (seafood, fish, meat, wine …). Outstanding products both in quality and flavor. A guided tour to remember!

The life of the cities takes place in their squares, and each one is born with a certain function. In Santiago de Compostela there have been several that once housed the market, and many streets that hosted pilgrims and merchants and, of course, their merchandise.

In this tour you will know the places where the products arrived and were distributed since the Late Middle Ages, as well as the spaces that are still named today by the artisans and merchants who occupied them, up to the current Praza de Abastos, where Local products are sold as if the time on the market had not passed. Meet and enjoy Galician cuisine in its most traditional expression. Dare with a meal enxebre!
