Ourense Night Free Tour "Rock, Paper, Scissors"

With the use of stone in its Roman origins, which not only left a mark in the construction of its baths, but also with the Roman bridge and its first settlement, of which we still keep remains in our Archaeological Museum and other discoveries under the ground . But stones were also the protagonists in medieval times, as evidenced by the Cathedral and the entire old town.

On the other hand, Ourense has always maintained a close relationship with literature. Numerous authors were born here, and many others used the city as a stage. Already in the Middle Ages, King Alfonso X El Sabio, in his famous Cantigas, mentions the city when praising “its good Ribeiro wine”. Ourense will above all witness a second Rexurdimento, led by the so-called Xeración Nós at the beginning of the 20th century.

And if we travel to the present, Ourense stands out for its great world-renowned designers, brands such as Roberto Verino, Purificación García, Bimba y Lola, Carolina Herrera or Adolfo Domínguez, are some examples. Getting lost in its streets is a good way to open your eyes to the wide commercial offer that is part of this city.

The route ends at the Roman Bridge, with beautiful views to take as a souvenir the postcard photo of the river Miño at sunset.
