Tour description

Get to know with us one of the best-known medieval towns in all of Galicia: Betanzos, known as "A dos cabaleiros". Don't worry, we will explain why it is called that, as well as many curiosities and stories about the town.

You will discover the cobbled pedestrian streets of Betanzos along with the most emblematic places , such as Praza do Concello or the churches of San Francisco and Santa María.
We will also tell you why there are so many wild boars in all these monuments.

You will learn the endearing story of the brothers to whom the main square of Betanzos is dedicated and, of course, we will talk about a very important part of Galician culture: our gastronomy.
Betanzos has made a name for itself in the national culinary world thanks to its famous tortillas. We recommend that you accompany it with a good wine from this Earth and we will give you many tips on how to enjoy Betanzos to the fullest.
