Arnoia River
The Arnoia is the soul of Allariz, shaping its scenery and its sense of calm. As the seasons change, so too does the character of the river, offering a backdrop for peaceful walks where nature and daily life exist in perfect balance.
Walk
Let's explore the city’s main sights at an easy pace.
Roman Bridge
Although the bridge you see today bears the mark of medieval reconstruction, its Roman origins still speak of continuity, memory and passage through time. From its arches, the views over the river and old town are among the most quietly beautiful in Galicia.
Historic Quarter
Lovingly restored with great care for both heritage and quality of life, Allariz’s historic quarter is a model of thoughtful urban renewal. Its dignified stone houses, quiet lanes and harmonious proportions reveal a town that has embraced the future without losing its soul.
Main Square
Encircled by handsome stone façades, the Main Square brings together civic pride, everyday life and understated charm. With the town hall and a selection of inviting cafés and restaurants nearby, it remains the natural heart of Allariz, elegant yet entirely unpretentious.
Savour
Savour the flavours that define this distinguished corner of inland Galicia.
Croca
One of the most prized cuts of Galician beef, croca is known for its remarkable tenderness and clean, elegant flavour. Simply grilled, it reveals the quality of the meat with impressive clarity, offering a deeply local expression of the region’s culinary heritage.
Grilled Trout
Raised in the waters of the Arnoia, local trout is delicate, fresh and beautifully understated. Grilled with care, it becomes a dish that reflects the landscape itself: serene, pure and full of quiet character.
Almond Pastries
These traditional almond sweets offer a fine balance of fragrance, delicacy and texture. Lightly crisp on the outside and soft within, they capture the discreet refinement of local confectionery at its most authentic.
Feel

Outlet District
Set within sensitively restored historic buildings, Allariz’s outlet district offers an unusually graceful shopping experience. International brands, architectural heritage and a relaxed atmosphere come together here in a way that feels both refined and distinctly local.
Church of Santiago
Located near the heart of town, this church reflects Allariz’s historic links with the great pilgrimage tradition of north-western Spain. Its Romanesque lines are sober and powerful, while the stillness within invites a more contemplative encounter with the medieval world.
