Itinerary
Starting at Praza de España, by the town hall, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and stroll into Spain's most walkable old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Capela da Virxe Peregrina opens the hunt — a chapel shaped like a pilgrim's scallop shell, guarding the Portuguese Way to Santiago. Riddles follow the shell motif. On Praza da Ferraría, trivia settles in under the arcades where the whole city seems to meet, camellias blooming beside the church of San Francisco. Praza Méndez Núñez adds granite crosses, noble houses and a clue or two among the café tables. Around two hours through pedestrian paradise. When the last puzzle falls, celebrate the Galician way — something small, salty and delicious nearby.
