About Allariz

Just 20 minutes’ drive from the provincial capital of Ourense, the little historic town of Allariz has an appealingly laid-back feel. Set on the banks of the Arnoia River and surrounded by hills crowned by oak and pine trees, it’s a relaxed destination for those looking to experience the charms of rural Galicia, far from the crowds. Our Gurus have highlighted their pick of the best places to stay in Allariz, a family-run hotel with great rates and lots of charm.

Explore Allariz’s cobbled medieval heart on foot, spotting heritage homes, galleries, cafés and boutiques. Striking local landmarks include the Chapel of San Bieito, the Real Monasterio de Santa Clara and the ancient Forna da Santa ruins. The town's former leather factories have also been transformed and preserved, now housing restaurants and intriguing specialty museums — this is a wonderful area to explore in the daytime and evening.

For scenic strolls, look to the beautiful Puente Romano and the leafy parkland around the Arnoia River. Enjoy a picnic shaded by enormous oak trees, go for a run or cycle with the whole family. There are marked trails in the surrounding countryside for keen outdoorsy types, too. The town’s annual Ox Festival is immensely popular, so book your trip to Allariz well in advance if travelling in late May or early June.
