A MIÑA VIAXE
Cities of Galicia
Either during the day or at night, there is always life here. This is a city for strolling and enjoying.
A city hardened by a thousand battles, Ferrol is a wise mixture of culture, urban elegance and military power.
Lugo is also and, above all, a city with a splendorous Roman past, which is evidenced by its Wall which is a World Heritage Site, its Roman Baths or its Roman Bridge.
Ourense is the city of water. Here eight bridges cross the Miño river, which in Roman times was a gold mine. Today there is no gold, but very valuable waters: thermal spring waters.
In Pontevedra everything is just a step away and there is so much to see…Genuine treasures, such as the collection of gold and silver pieces in the Museum of Pontevedra, unique in Europe, with magnificent jewellery dating back 4,000 years.
World Heritage Site since 1985, for centuries Santiago de Compostela has attracted visitors and pilgrims from all over the world. It is Galicia's most cosmopolitan city, but it takes it in a matter-of-fact way, which is why from the very beginning you feel like you are a part of it.
Are you fascinated by architecture, museums, culture, bars, pavement cafés and night life? The seven Galician cities are splendidly well connected to each other and offer you everything you desire.
Magnificent architecture in Santiago de Compostela, the capital, with one of Europe's best preserved historic quarters and a rich cultural life; its streets full of tourists and students will enchant you. Pontevedra, with the waters of its estuary lapping at its shore and one of Galicia's most interesting and lively historic quarters. To the north and south of the region, A Coruña and Vigo, two thousand-year old modern and populated cities with incomparable beaches and where avant-garde architecture always blends with the sea. And in the interior, Ourense and Lugo, crossed by the great River Miño; discover their gastronomy and their multiple spas, a true paradise of water. But you still have to visit Ferrol, Galicia's jewel of the Atlantic coast. Located in one of Europe's best natural ports, don't miss the Dockyards and the "Barrio de la Magdalena" quarter.
