Tour description

Discovering Ourense means immersing yourself in a city where history, art, and tradition intertwine. Famous for its hot springs and rich heritage, on this tour we'll learn how this city of nobles, churches, and sloping plazas has grown over the centuries. Will you join us?

We'll begin our visit at As Burgas , the iconic hot springs, where waters gush forth from the depths of the Earth at over 60°C. Will you be brave enough to touch them?

After learning about the city's origins, we'll arrive at Praza Maior , the heart of Ourense, famous for its unique slope. From here, we'll delve into medieval times by exploring two essential monuments in the city's history: the Episcopal Palace and the Church of Santa María Nai .

Our tour will take us to the area surrounding San Martiño Cathedral, where we'll reveal secrets about its history, architecture, and the interesting facts surrounding it.

Afterwards, we will have time to explore Praza do Ferro , the perfect place to savour authentic Galician cuisine, and stroll along Rúa do Paseo , Ourense's quintessential commercial and modernist artery.

Before concluding, we will visit the imposing church of Santa Eufemia , a magnificent example of Galician Baroque, and the Alameda , a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the city's atmosphere.
