In a nutshell

Get ready to discover Tui, the city that has spent its life defending itself from invasions, looting, and more recently, tourists armed with selfie sticks! From its imposing cathedral-fortress to the breathtaking views over the river Miño, to the final stop at the Parador for a strategic toast, this experience is the perfect combination of history, views and...full glasses.

Main stops

Tui Cathedral, from the Romanesque to the Gothic
Tasting of local wines at the Parador

The programme

We'll set off from Vigo and then head south, straight towards Tui, a town perched atop a hill, right on the border with Portugal. A strategic position? Without a doubt! So strategic that in medieval times, it was visited by more armies than pilgrims. For this reason, beauty is not enough for its cathedral: it has crenelated towers, thick walls and a menacing air that seems to say "try us if you dare". From the top of its tower, the view over the river Miño is simply epic.

After exploring the old town – a mix of cobbled streets, ancient convents and noble palaces – we'll take a pit stop at the Parador. Here, you'll taste local wines and a few plates of tapas, because tourism is best enjoyed with a glass in hand...or even two!

After the toast, we'll head back to Vigo, in the knowledge that we've conquered Tui…at least with our eyes (and our palates).
