Overview of your Pontevedra tour:

Ready to discover the cradle of an ancient civilisation? Whether you are crazy about history, culture or nature, this tour will certainly surprise you in the most positive way. I am passionate about it all and I am sure you also will be by the end of this experience if you allow me to show you this fantastic places with a "local eye". From prehistoric dolmens and rock engravings thousands of years old to the Celts and the sheer beauty of Galician landscapes. Understand how antiquity and modernity mix and how meaningful the past can be in today's world. You will learn about a fundamental part of European history and hear stories that will fascinate you. From Donón sanctuary - where souls embark on their final journey to the Other World - to the Seixo, the "Sacred Mountain of the Celts", or the actual ground zero of European petroglyphs (rock engravings) between the picturesque village of Pedre and Campo Lameiro. How to miss all that? This is a treasure I can't wait to share with the world.

Your Pontevedra tour itinerary

- We'll proceed from Pontevedra to Donón to enjoy a spectacular ocean view over the Cies islands and learn about the legends associated with the place. This is a perfect spot for the most amazing pictures. - We'll then drive back inland to Seixo mountain and visit its impressive dolmens. The trip from the sea to the mountains is well worth it in itself and, once there, we'll explore how modernity mixes (or not!) with tradition and the most ancient heritage. - We'll stop in the village of Pedre, beautifully built in granite by and for stonemasons. Either before or after that we'll have lunch and visit the Campo Lameiro archaeological park and the spectacular petroglyphs it houses. - The tour will end back in Pontevedra, although it must be noted that alternative starting/ending points can be arranged and of other activities and sites can be included depending on availability and weather. Itineraries can be adapted to traveler's interest: do not hesitate to contact me for a customized experience.
