Imagine travelling back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ribadeo was a welcoming and vibrant city that adapted to the changes of the time. Its formerly impoverished migrants were returning to invest in their hometown, and new buildings and resources were being constructed.

Immerse yourself in this era by wearing a white or cream gown to show that you have come from the Americas with wealth and good fortune. This is Ribadeo Indiano, a festival during which the city recreates its recent past. To experience it first-hand, you will be provided with a costume to help you blend into the city’s living history.

It’s your ticket to travelling back in time!

Led by a specialist guide, you will discover Ribadeo through its migrant and merchant past, connecting you with the unique architecture and investments made by migrants.

You will also experience the city’s present-day and medieval past, which are both interwoven and waiting to be discovered. You will learn how the city evolved around the surrounding sea.

There will also be free time for you to explore independently before returning to the 21st century.

This journey through time has been designed so that you can enjoy a unique experience during your trip to Galicia. You won’t need to worry about a thing.

The Troulanders team will help you get the most out of the village (and your historical look) by designing a tailor-made programme for your visit. This will include recommendations on where to go and when, detailed maps of the festival, and pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation.

And, of course, your own XIXth century portrait, so you’ll never forget your visit to Ribadeo.
