What you can expect

The itinerary through the Rías Baixas from Santiago de Compostela will begin with a guided visit to a traditional winery in the region, where you can taste the exquisite local wines. It will be a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the production of these magnificent wines and delight in the tasting experience.

The next stage of this Rías Baixas excursion is a relaxing boat ride with the option to taste mussels. During this ride, you will uncover the secrets of mussel, oyster, and scallop farming in the “bateas.” On board, you will have the opportunity to enjoy plenty of mussels, accompanied by local wine, refreshments, water, and a touch of orujo cream. Joining the boat ride is optional.

After the boat experience, it will be time to explore O Grove. We will take a brief tour of the harbour and the initial part of the historic centre. After the guided tour, you will have 1 hour and 30 minutes to savour the wonderful Galician cuisine and explore the place at your own pace. O Grove also holds curiosities, such as an impressive collection of sculptures that will surprise you during your stay in the village.

Without rushing but without stopping, we will continue towards A Toxa. Being the most famous of the Galician Atlantic islands, this island went from being a grazing area to the discovery of its beneficial thermal muds. You will learn about its evolution and experience up close why it has become a dream destination. However, this is just a taste of the surprises that this small Galician island has prepared. There will also be the opportunity to contemplate the iconic La Toxa Bridge, built in the 19th century to connect the O Grove peninsula with the island, a milestone that marked a before and after in local history.

Back on the bus, we will delve into the history of the A Lanzada hermitage, where wine, the sea, and secrets that will enrich your experience to the fullest converge. Did you know that the A Lanzada hermitage has a deep relationship with the fertility and fecundity ritual, linked to the swimming of the nine waves?

We have reached the moment to introduce you to a destination that has become a true tourist icon in Galicia. Our journey through the Rías Baixas from Santiago de Compostela leads us to the charming village of Combarro, where granaries and picturesque streets mesmerise visitors. The image of the granaries overlooking the sea has contributed to raising the popularity of this small gem called Combarro.

And so, this fascinating excursion culminates, returning to the Galician capital. If you have any doubts about joining the Rías Baixas excursion from Santiago de Compostela and require more information, we will be delighted to provide you with all the assistance you need.
