Fill a day with wine, art, gastronomy, and natural beauty. Visit an amazing monastery, magical viewpoint and a medieval town on this guided day tour of Ribeira Sacra. Enjoy the views of Sil River between the hills where grapes are grown, sometimes at vertical cliffs. Discover Galician cuisine and Roman and Celtic culture.

Start your tour from the Plaza de Galicia in Santiago de Compostela. Local guides join you in the air-conditioned minibuses.

First stop will take place at a small valley just beside the Sil River, where we'll find a small dock between a huge oak forest and vineyards.

Drive down the Sil River valley for a leisurely cruise. More vineyards cover the slopes along the river, sometimes on vertical cliffs. That’s the reason for the name ‘heroic viticulture,’ practised over centuries in these valleys. The guide will explain many interesting things about these special wine production systems.

One of the most spectacular viewpoints of Galicia will be waiting at the south side of the Sil River. Amazing views of vineyards which have been built at impossible places, and the Sil River, always quiet. Views of many kilometres of chestnut and oak forests, vines and very tiny villages.

Discover the oldest monastery in Galicia. The first monks arrived there in the 6th century and lived in a cave. Today, you can visit the cave and the monastery of San Pedro de Rocas. There, you’ll find an interesting museum with history and stories about the area, the monks’ way of life, and traditional jobs in the Ribeira Sacra.

Lunch time at the most beautiful town of the province and one of the most spectacular ones of Spain: Allariz. There are lots of nice restaurants waiting for us and offering the best meals of this region. After lunch, enjoy a guided visit to the old town of Allariz, where we’ll find tiny streets, beautiful squares, and spectacular medieval buildings. A beautiful river crossed by a medieval bridge runs through the town. Allariz has a lot of history and many interesting traditions. The town has been used many times for filming important films because of the beauty of its streets, buildings and squares.
