♡ Save
Welcome to this incredible corner of Galicia where history, culture, ethnography, and gastronomy go hand in hand for the enjoyment of great tourism lovers.
We will meet at the García Naveira Brothers Statue while explaining the life and work of these great Betance patrons Juan and Jesús who also promoted the construction of the Parque del Pasatiempo, a work unparalleled for its originality and charm.
Once the main historical and geographical data of the city has been clarified, we will enter its magnificent old area where we will witness the great heritage wealth of the town.
We will visit its important Gothic churches for which Betanzos is known as the capital of Galician Gothic. Important in this sense is the figure of Fernán Pérez de Andrade, perhaps the most illustrious of the nobles of Betanzos, who is also known as the City of Knights.
Through its tortuous streets with a medieval layout, we will also find important modernist buildings such as El Palco de la Música, La Casa Núñez (today the headquarters of the Centro de Internacional de Estampa Contemporánea) and Las Escuelas García Naveira.
Do not hesitate to book your place, it is a unique opportunity in an unforgettable destination!
