History, literature, and fashion are intertwined in Ourense. The river Miño, as it passes through the cit,y will whisper to you stories that it has contemplated over the centuries.

Dare to discover Ourense with me, let me accompany you in the discovery of a fascinating city, which in the mid-twentieth century was known as the Athens of Galicia, did you know that it is also known as the city of water?

In this guided tour, I will show you the most emblematic places of this city from its main square, the only inclined one in Spain, to its fountain of the Burgas with water at 67 degrees, its Cathedral, and many curiosities that only the orensanos know. Discover with me a hospitable city, with a fantastic gastronomy, and most importantly, wonderful people who will make you feel at ease in this city from minute one.

The tour will begin in the main square, we will visit: Las Burgas Santa María la Real Magdalena Square Ourense Cathedral Santa Eufemia We will finish the tour in the Jardines del Padre Feijóo.
