A small jewel living in harmony with the river
Allariz
Why Allariz?
Tucked away in the heart of inland Galicia, Allariz unfolds along the gentle waters of the River Arnoia, offering a rare balance between medieval heritage and living nature! Wandering its cobbled streets, visitors encounter the Roman Bridge and the Church of Santiago, monuments that blend seamlessly into everyday life. The carefully preserved historic quarter and the serene riverside walks invite unhurried exploration, while the relaxing Outlet Area reveal a town that values heritage, craftsmanship and quiet well-being. Allariz is not a place to rush through, but one to absorb slowly, step by step.
Main Attractions
River Arnoia
The River Arnoia shapes both the landscape and the rhythm of life in Allariz. Its gentle flow reflects changing light, so by walking beside it you will experience the town at its natural pace, where water, stone and silence come together in quiet harmony!
Roman Bridge
Originally Roman in origin and later adapted in medieval times, this bridge stands as a symbol of continuity. Its solid stone arches combine functionality with understated beauty, offering particularly evocative views of the River Arnoia and the historic centre!
Old Town
Allariz’s Old Town is the result of a carefully planned urban regeneration process. Once threatened by decline, the old town was restored with a focus on quality of life and architectural coherence, earning several awards throughout Europe!
Ox Festival Sculptures
The Ox Festival is Allariz’s main traditional festival, of medieval origin, in which a bull leads participants through the town streets! This sculpture depicts that defining moment, allowing visitors to understand the festival even outside the celebration period!
