General presentation
Ourense, Ribeiro et thermes
Thermal city, bridges over the Miño, hot springs, Ribeiro vineyards and historic villages of Galicia interior.
The discovery of Ourense, Ribeiro and thermal baths revolves around Ourense, Burgas d'Ourense and Pont roman d'Ourense. The stay thus alternates between urban life, riverscapes, heritage and the countryside, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best-known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: heat possible in summer and thermals to be checked according to times. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Ourense
Ourense is lived by the juxtaposition of lively civilian spaces and more silent areas, with an architectural texture that reveals its uses. A stop in the old neighborhoods then on the waterside shows the place under two complementary faces. The late morning atmospheres often offer a good balance of light and activity.
Place
Ribadavia
Ribadavia maintains a continuity of angles: commercial artery, inner lanes, and transitions to the more rural areas of the area. By following a circular route, one better understands his role as a local stopover and the place of his buildings in the topography. The softer hours allow to see the materials without the hardness of a full sun.
Place
Allariz
Allariz is mainly a chain of spaces that breathe when you cross them in their natural order, from places to the quieter paths. The narrow streets focus on facades, thresholds and stone details. Vesper light reveals the depth of the volumes and softens the transition with the surrounding areas.
