Juan and Fran are two official guides who, after more than 10 years guiding in different cities in Europe and driven by homesickness, returned to our homeland in 2020 to create our own project.
Have you ever wondered why Galicians answer with a question, why they emigrated so much, why they are so superstitious, why Galician is so similar to Portuguese or why seafood in Galicia is so famous?
Let yourself be guided by a Galician from Costa da Morte and another from Ferrolterra, two official guides from Galicia who emigrated and practiced their profession abroad for 10 years, until morriña did its job and they returned home.
We will begin the visit in Plaza San Miguel, a quiet square to make an introduction, laying the foundations of the history of Galicia and the reason for its particularities. From there we will go to a historical library to talk about the origin of their language. We will continue the visit, touring at all times the lesser-known area of the historic center of Santiago, addressing topics such as the Galician historical festivals, superstitions, historical politicians, gastronomy, the climate...To end the tour at a beautiful viewpoint, next to the sculpture of who has surely been the person who has best represented Galicians throughout history, Rosalía de Castro, to address, of course, the issue of Galician emigration.
If you want to truly soak up the history and culture of Galicia with official and experienced guides...
Book with us :)
You will see us in Plaza San Martiño with a navy blue umbrella.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
