A Walk in Medieval Betanzos

Immerse yourself in the charms of a historic Spanish town.

Sit back and relax on a scenic drive through the city, noting the 18th-century Military Arsenal along the way. Out in the countryside, spot the picturesque village of Pontedeume and stunning views of the coastline, dotted with hamlets and interspersed with white sandy beaches.

Set off with your knowledgeable guide in the ancient town of Betanzos for a walk around the old quarter. Stride out from Hermanos García Naveira Square and explore the atmospheric surroundings dotted with fountains, palaces and the stunning churches of Santa María do Azougue and San Francisco, which date back to the 14th century.

If you’re feeling peckish, try the tasty tortilla de Betanzos with a glass of wine before taking a stroll around the narrow streets at your own pace. You can explore a little further or maybe indulge in some souvenir shopping – the choice is yours.
