Full Day Tour to Ourense and Ribeira Sacra
Ourense, is the capital city of the only Galician province that lacks sea coast. It was an important place in Roman times due to their settlement and because it was a convenient spot for crossing the River Mino. The Puente Viejo (Old Bridge) dates from that time. The Cathedral dates back to the 12th century and its Portico del Paraiso recalls the well-known Portico de la Gloria of Santiago Cathedral. Streets, squares and gardens make up a pleasant site. The Burgas, unique thermal springs, are not to be missed.

Lunch will be taken in Luintra before continuing to San Estevo Ribas do Sil. Benedictine monastery located in a characteristic deciduous forest, whose existence is documented proven since the 10th century, although its origins seem to date back to the 6th and 7th century. It is basically a Romanesque church, though it also shows Gothic and Baroque-style elements.

The Ribeira Sacra's relief is comprised of high plateaus and mountains with gentle slopes, which due to erosion, give way abruptly to the waters of the River Sil. The result is a canyon that is up to 500 meters deep in some spots. At the top of the canyon there are numerous natural viewpoints that "hang" over the river, making them ideal places to contemplate an unusually beautiful landscape.


Starting from $77.77 per person

The north coast of Valencia has become a large expanse of sand, where tall towers of apartments and service infrastructures have been built, sharing the landscape with farmsteads and large market gardens (huertas).

From Valencia to Cullera, situated to the south of the capital and separated from the waters of the Mediterranean by a chain of dunes and pine groves, the lake of La Albufera was formed by the deposit of sediments from the Rivers Turia an Jucar, which hemmed in this small inland sea of fresh water.
