Itinerary
Day 1
Leaving your hotel or cruise ship, we travel from Vigo by car. We head to an area known as the Baixo Mino where we will find the two border towns of Tui and Valenca. Tui is a charming town situated a top of a rocky outcrop, where a 12th century fortress cathedral overlooks the river Mino, which separates Galica from Portugal. We will walk around the historic quarter of Tui and visit the Cathedral a pilgrimage stop for those doing the camino from Portugal. Before venturing across the border, well stop to sample some of the local cuisine in a lovely Galician restaurant and of course sampling some of the famous local wine. We then cross into Portugal over the Mino and enter the walled town of Valenca do Minho for a little shopping and history.
We will then cross back into Spain and head towards the coast following the Mino, to the fishing village of A Guarda the last Spanish town on the Atlantic coast and make our way to the top of Monte Santa Tecla and take in the stunning 360deg views. We visit a 2000-year-old Celtic Hill Fort with museum and restored huts, and wander through this tiny village and its impossibly narrow paths.
We then head to Baiona along the Atlantic coast road where news of the discovery of the Americas first reached Europe. Before making our way back to Vigo and up to El Castro for some great views of the bay from a ruined 17th century fortress and then down into Vigos historic quarter and back to your hotel or cruise ship.
