OUR CONXURE TO MAKE THE BEST FREETOURS: Take a container and fill it with good HISTORICAL RIGOR, add two teaspoons of imagination, a pinch of theatricality, two twigs of emotion and suspense and water it with youth and enthusiasm. Mark it, they took it out of my hands, or was it from the broom?

Tour description

To begin the Combarro Tour , we will meet at the Praza Peirao da Chousa at the agreed time, where the guide will explain the geographical location of Combarro , as well as who it belonged to in the past. Did you know that it was the only place in Galicia where royalty did not want to settle?

Now, welcome to the Middle Ages . We will begin to walk down the narrowest street to see the architecture of the granaries , how they were used and how the peasants used their imagination so that after a hard day's work they could tell from the high seas which granary was theirs. Pay attention because this has a lot of detail! We will also take advantage of the opportunity to learn the difference between a granary and a hórrea.

Later, on the same street, we will stop in front of the seafaring houses to talk about how they were distributed and what each room was used for.

Now, the largest open-air Cruceiros museum in Galicia begins! In Combarro we have up to 7 completely different cruceiros , we will stop at each one of them: in the first one we will stop to talk about its structure, in the second we will see what its particularity is and it is that, this cruceiro makes us Galicians sometimes get carried away drinking coffee liqueur…

Now, taking advantage of the Pontevedra estuary and the view of the granaries, it's time for a photo! Take your camera and take the selfie or the panoramic shot par excellence and show off the Rías Baixas.

We continue along the narrowest street, called Rúa Cega , and it is blind for a reason. Can I tell you about it? We will arrive at one of the most charming squares in Combarro, and we are going to talk about festivals , and we cannot understand this place without referring to the year 1492, the discovery of America, and of course, Christopher Columbus.

The origins of Christopher Columbus remain a mystery even today for all historians, but it is said that he could be Galician, and specifically from Poio . So, let's try to solve the mystery and fix the world? And it is that, in Pontevedra lands is home to the largest Sequoia Natural Park in the world.

We continue our cruises along Rúa de San Roque, until we reach the chapel, where we will talk about diseases such as the plague, as well as the Island of Tambo . However, Tambo and Combarro hide another kind of secret. Listen, listen, black history is in fashion.

We will continue walking until we reach another of the most charming little squares, but with something that terrified the population, the crossroads of 4 roads, which is why it is the moment of the history of the Santa Compaña.
