A car-free old town where every square has a story — Pontevedra is Galicia's best-kept secret, and it's ready to play.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Pontevedra on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Circle the Capela da Virxe Peregrina, the scallop-shaped pilgrim chapel
• Linger on Praza da Ferraría, the city's arcaded living room
• Solve your way across Praza Méndez Núñez and its stone charm

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Spanish and English.

Small city, big game.

What to expect

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.
