What you can expect

  • Meet your guide near Casa da Torre and begin an almost initiatory journey through various Galician beliefs and superstitions. Head to Plaza da Alfóndega, where you’ll talk about the symbolic language of the cruceiros in Galicia, before making your way to the Church of Santiago to discover a secret hidden in plain sight.

    On your way to Campo das Redes, pass by Os Eidos Cemetery, where you’ll discuss the Santa Compaña and Freemasonry in Redondela. Once you enter the neighborhood of A Esfarrapada, delve deeper into sailors’ superstitions and the rituals they followed to ensure their safe return home after fishing.

    Characters whose names have long been forgotten will accompany you throughout the route, rescued from the depths of memory. In Plaza de Santiago, where the tour will end, discuss the difference between a picota and a stone rollo, which was most likely what stood on the access road to the walled enclosure of the Vilanova of Redondela along the Camino Real.
