Free Tour "Discover Allariz"

Talking about Allariz is talking about history, culture, architecture, gastronomy, and nature. A town with over a thousand years of life that combines the charm of its historic center with the calm and beauty of the Arnoia River. Are you coming to discover it?

We will meet at Alto do Portelo and walk towards Monte do Castelo, a small hill from which we will enjoy one of the best views of Allariz. Don't forget your camera!

From there, we will delve into the historic center to explore it, linking squares and alleys with centuries of history. We will unravel its medieval period —the old castle, the walls, or the Jewish quarter— with endless curiosities in every stone, also discovering two of its great Romanesque jewels: the Church of Santo Estevo and the Church of Santiago.

But Allariz is not just about the past. We will also talk about how Allariz reinvented itself thanks to an exemplary recovery of its heritage, which has made it a recognized reference with numerous awards. Among stories and anecdotes, we will give you recommendations on gastronomy (what to try and where to eat), understand why the fashion outlets have become a magnet for those seeking quality at a good price, and we will pass by a very special corner... which might sound familiar from the big screen, although we will leave it as a surprise.

To finish, we will relax by the Arnoia River in the Parque Etnográfico do Río Arnoia, a perfect setting to end the visit with an unexpected story that explains the origin of Allariz's great change.
