Overview

The visit starts from Praza da Ferrería, the very heart of the city, where we will explain the evolution of Pontevedra through the centuries. From a strategic point to cross the river in Roman times, continuing with a busy 15th century in which the sailors of Pontevedra conquered the seas, until the present moment, in which Pontevedra is considered a model of urban development that has obtained various awards international
We will move to the imposing Iglesia de la Peregrina, which shows us the Way to Santiago. The tour continues to the Alameda with the government buildings and the Basilica of Santa María, the old church built by the city's sailors. We will cross squares and streets of the city to finish the visit at the Mercado de Abastos, the best place in all of Pontevedra to taste the local gastronomy.
Which Greek hero is the legendary founder of the city? How did Pontevedra become such a powerful city in the late Middle Ages? What are the best places to enjoy Galician food? What is behind the mysterious Pedro Madruga, and why has he been so important to human history?
