Our meeting point will be at one of Pontevedra's most iconic spots, in front of the Monument to the Heroes of Pontesampaio and the beautiful, stately tree-lined avenue, surrounded by some of the administrative palaces that best represent the city's rebirth after being named provincial capital.

We'll then continue the sightseeing tour to the heart of Pontevedra, its stunning historic center. The first thing we'll see is the Basilica of Santa María la Mayor, a symbol of the power of the seafarers' guild and the city's port prowess centuries ago. Next, we'll see the medieval ruins of what was once Galicia's major loading and unloading port.

Our tour continues along the banks of the beautiful Lérez River, where we'll enjoy views of the Puente del Burgo, the city's oldest bridge and the site around which today's Pontevedra emerged. After this, we'll arrive at one of everyone's favorite spots, the Municipal Market. If there's one thing the Rias Baixas are known for, it's their gastronomy.

From here, we'll come across some of the most charming squares in Pontevedra, all named after the old trades that used to take place there: Plaza da Pedreira, Plaza da Leña, and Plaza da Verdura. Of course, we won't forget Plaza do Teucro, one of the most elegant squares in the city, full of local heraldry representing many of the great houses of yesteryear.

We'll then visit Plaza de la Herrería, one of the largest, liveliest, and greenest squares in the city, where the Gothic Convent of San Francisco stands above a beautiful camellia garden.

We'll wrap up our sightseeing tour at the Church of the Peregrina, a symbol of the city and a meeting place for pilgrims on the Portuguese Way to Santiago.
