Go beyond the dinner table and the travel guides

Dare to go behind the scenes. On this expedition, you will venture into the “lonxa”, meet local producers and discover new flavours and recipes that have been passed down through the generations.

Discover the Galician approach to modern and popular cuisine. It’s not just about enjoying the unique Rías Baixas landscape, but experiencing it like a local.

*lonxa = Public building where fishermen and merchants gather for the fish auction.

Unique views and different perspectives await

We suggest taking the slow route and calmly exploring the ‘xoias’ of the Rías Baixas. Discover the secrets known only to true connoisseurs. We have carefully planned an itinerary for you to explore at your own pace, offering new perspectives and points of view, guided by experts who are passionate about our region.

Take it further and customise your itinerary to enjoy this unique region even more.

*xoia = gem, treasure

Be amazed by the diversity of the Rías Baixas islands

Many travellers limit themselves to visiting the Cíes Islands. We suggest a plan that goes beyond sunbathing in the Atlantic Islands National Park.

On this trip we will sail to the different islands that dot the estuaries of Vigo and Pontevedra through the products caught by their fishermen each season. A journey that goes far beyond the landscape and changes with each season.

Even Captain Nemo knew this was the real treasure hiding underwater.
