For those of you who don\u2019t know, Galicia is a haven for fine Spanish wins. The air, temperature, soils and altitudes are responsible for growing some of the finest grapes in the World.

If asked to describe the local wines, we would say they are young, light, perhaps slightly acidic and bursting with fruity and floral aromas. The whites are the best (in our eyes) and we\u2019d definitely recommend those made from the Torront\u00e9s, Loureira, Godello, Albari\u00f1o and Treixadura (known as the \u201cking” of Ribeiro wine) grape varieties<\/p>\n

Galicia is also famous for its shell fish, which we\u2019d have to agree is some of the finest in Spain. The combination of a fine white Robeiro wine and locally caught seafood is absolutely heavenly and something we\u2019re sure will leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

Explore the Ribeiro Wine Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

The Ribeiro Wine Route is a stunning stretch of countryside that will present you with some of the finest views in Spain… and it\u2019s well worth taking a day or two to hire a car and go explore this vastness. You\u2019ll not fail to stumble upon ancient villages with Baroque and Romanesque churches, fortresses and palaces and old Jewish neighbourhoods known as h\u00f3rreos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Make sure you check out the ancient town of Ribadavia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The route will also take you through oak forests, river canyons and then there\u2019s the thousands of acres of vinyards.<\/p>\n

Getting there<\/h2>\n

The Ribeiro Wine Route is located in southeast Galicia, in the province of Ourense. You can get there by plane, flying into Vigo airport and then getting to the region\u2019s capital by car 60KM away. Then all you need to do is take the A-52 motorway which runs through Ribadavia, and can be joined 28 kilometres from the city of Ourense. This motorway links up with the A-6, which goes as far as Madrid. From Portugal, the entry route into Galicia is the AP-9 motorway.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to travel by train, there is a station in Ribadavia itself which has daily connections with large cities like Ourense, Vigo, Pontevedra (all three in Galicia), Zamora and Ponferrada (in Castile-Le\u00f3n) and Madrid.<\/p>\n

There is also a bus station in Ribadavia which has several daily departures to cities such as Ourense or Vigo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
