I really like being able to accompany visitors around the city and tell them interesting things, so that they can have a good memory and have a pleasant time, especially so that they enjoy a relaxing time, without rushing and the best possible way. and whenever they have offered me excursions or guided tours I have valued the simplicity, the fun, the "no rush" and the proximity of the guide. I offer that, walk, see and everything is easy.

Tour description

Hi Walkers! I offer you to go through my city, A Coruña, with this new TOUR and which has a pioneer and very important woman as its protagonist. Nurse and first female international medical history and vaccination mission.

A Coruña offers many important stories and legends and this story of ISABEL ZENDAL , so called for a long time, deserves a special tour of the places of interest to learn more about its history or find out who does not know who he was and what he did so important for the humanity.

From the port of A Coruña that ship sailed with the Vaccine Philanthropic Expedition. It is the starting point of this heroic journey that will change the trajectory of the smallpox pandemic around the world.

We will make a complete tour of the city touching many points of interest and we will see, among others, its tribute monument, we will also see that of Doctor Balmis , the name of the expedition in question and we will end our tour on the Balcón Balmis, next to the sea and at port A that neither ISABEL ZENDAL nor the brave children who accompanied her will see again, true protagonists of this story of the first vaccination campaign in the world.

This tour will give us the opportunity to imaginatively immerse ourselves in that moment. It's a tour to learn a little more about that figure whose name we've heard many times during our current pandemic and whose story many people don't know. After this walk, it is good to reflect on all the good that human beings can do for others.

We will start our tour at the Obelisco, in the center of A Coruña to enter the Calle Real, passing through the Plaza de Maria Pita, our heroine of the city. We will also visit the old city with its legends and stories of shipwrecks and battles against England and France and visit the statue of Isabel Zendal to end up on the Balcón Balmis to pay homage to such an important work.

I've been waiting for you since March 5 with THE STORY OF ISABEL ZENDAL, very excited as always!
