    Day 1

    Santiago → Ribeira Sacra → Ourense → Lugo/Pontevedra → Mondariz

    Arrive in Santiago de Compostela and check into your boutique hotel — such as the Parador de Santiago, a former pilgrim’s hospice now reborn as a luxurious heritage stay. In the afternoon, explore the city’s UNESCO-listed Old Town and its iconic cathedral, the final destination of the Camino de Santiago. As evening falls, unwind with a thermal spa session at Hotel Spa Relais & Châteaux A Quinta da Auga, surrounded by tranquil gardens and gentle Galician charm.

    Day 2

    Santiago → Ribeira Sacra → Ourense → Lugo/Pontevedra → Mondariz

    Venture into the Ribeira Sacra region, a land of canyon-cut landscapes and terraced vineyards. Begin your day with a soak at the serene thermal baths of Augas Santas Golf & Spa Resort, where mineral waters bubble beneath ancient oak trees. In the afternoon, cruise through the dramatic Sil River Canyon by catamaran, then visit a local winery to sample native Mencía and Godello wines. Return to Santiago in the evening, refreshed and restored.

    Day 3

    Santiago → Ribeira Sacra → Ourense → Lugo/Pontevedra → Mondariz

    After breakfast, transfer to Ourense — a city shaped by its hot springs and Roman past. Settle into a centrally located hotel like Barceló Ourense for a four-night stay. Spend your afternoon relaxing in the riverside Pozas de Outariz, a collection of open-air thermal pools by the Miño River. Later, stroll through the historic Old Town before dining in one of the city’s traditional taverns, perhaps finishing with a soak at the lantern-lit Termas de Chavasqueira.

Walk the ancient ramparts and delve into Lugo’s medieval lanes before indulging in a spa session at the Termas Romanas, blending ancient healing traditions with modern wellness. Return to Ourense in the evening for dinner and rest.
