Discover the beautiful Roman city of Ourense known as the “City of Gold” with the help of a local guide. This city, on the banks of the Miño River, stands out for its abundant thermal waters, its Roman archaeological remains, its medieval past with its Cathedral and its numerous alleys that will transport you to another era. Many artists and writers were inspired by this city, located in a magical environment such as the Ribeira Sacra and famous for its good gastronomy and traditions.
We will start with the Roman past of Ourense in Burgas, ancient hot springs where the Romans used to go to enjoy and which the people of Ourense continue to do today. We will continue entering the Old Town until we reach the Plaza Mayor, where we will find some of the main monuments such as the Town Hall or the Episcopal Palace.
We will continue through different squares with names that already tell us about the past activity of the people of Ourense, such as the Plaza del Trigo until we reach the beautiful Cathedral, Romanesque and Gothic and whose “Portico of Paradise” has little to envy of the famous “Portico of Glory” of the Cathedral of Santiago.
We will continue towards the Alameda and its beautiful Mercado de Abastos where you will see all the fresh Galician products and we will later arrive at the Plaza do Ferro, known as the wine area. We will continue to finish through very mysterious places that will surprise you in the city of Ourense.
