Centro Historico de Betanzos

The visit to Betanzos allows us to discover one of the most charming and historic towns in Galicia. We will explore its well-preserved old town, with cobbled streets, noble houses, and lively squares. We’ll learn about the history of this former capital of the Kingdom of Galicia by visiting Gothic churches such as San Francisco and Santa María do Azogue, and admiring its civil and religious architecture. During the walk, there will also be time to enjoy the town’s traditional atmosphere and, if desired, taste the famous Betanzos-style Spanish omelette, considered one of the best in Spain. It’s an experience that blends culture, history, and flavor in a truly authentic and welcoming setting.

Betanzos

The Betanzos-style Spanish omelette is one of the great gastronomic icons of Galicia. Made with free-range eggs, Galician potatoes, and no onion, it stands out for its juicy, creamy texture and slightly runny center, just as local tradition dictates. Its intense flavor and simple yet carefully prepared recipe make it a true delicacy. During our visit to Betanzos, we’ll have the chance to stop and taste this specialty, enjoying a culinary experience that is an essential part of the town’s identity. Without a doubt, it’s the perfect moment to savor Galicia in its purest form.

During the visit, we’ll explore its surrounding sculpture park, enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, and—if desired—climb to the top of the tower to take in a spectacular panoramic view of the Galician coast. It’s an essential stop to discover Galicia’s maritime history and Roman heritage.
