Discover the hidden historical treasures of the Ribeira Sacra region! This unique tour explores the undiscovered history, architecture and ethnography of Galicia. Follow a local, English-speaking guide for unique access and insight into the area’s ancient churches and religious history. From 5,000-year-old petroglyphs to Renaissance murals, this tour provides a deep and personal look into Galicia’s rich history and the communities who continue these traditions today.
We partner with a small-scale, local company dedicated to showing the Ribeira Sacra to visitors in a different, more slow-paced way, differing from the large-scale tourism operations in Galicia. It offers an intimate look into the real Ribeira Sacra and its hidden historical treasures you can’t access otherwise. The initiative is part of the Corridor de Ecoturismo de España Verde, a network of eco-tourism enterprises in Northern Spain.
Religious History in Ribeira Sacra
Explore the area’s beautifully-preserved churches and art. After meeting up with your guide, visit a 17th-century church with 16th century paintings. Enjoy breathtaking views overlooking the Miño River. Along the way, learn about the Winter Way (part of the Camino de Santiago) and visit medieval churches with Renaissance murals.
Archaeological and Gastronomical Treasures
Discover an ancient Roman granary, rock drawings, and archaeological excavations in the heart of Galicia. Continue to the Sil River Gorge for sweeping views before finishing your 4-hour tour with a wine tasting at a local vineyard.
