Alecrín Actividades y Aventura

Galicia is a magical place that can be discovered in many ways. At Alecrín we want to bring you closer to its wonders by organizing different activities throughout its rural environment, starting from Vigo (Pontevedra) throughout the province and even extending to the other provinces of the Autonomous Community.

So you can see our offer, we leave you a brief summary of all the things we do:

• Hiking: we have a large number of routes through the fragas, mountains, cliffs and towns in the region. The Lighthouse Route, the Waterfalls, the Sierra del Suído or the Groba Mountains, among many other routes. We even adapt to your requests, because if you know of a special trail, you can tell us about it and we will have everything ready to lace up our boots and hit the road.

• Kayak: taking advantage of our location, we go out in self-emptying kayaks for two people through the San Simón Cove, arriving at the island of the same name. It is a walk along the Vigo estuary ending with a landing on this impressive island. Another kayak activity is to combine a stretch of hiking through the most incredible forests of Galicia with a kayak outing, what we call Sendeyak.

• Orientation: We are in forest land, so participating in orienteering games here is really fun and challenging. We will give you the map and a series of tests to overcome to emerge victorious.

• Guided tours: these are not the typical visits to the historical monuments of the cities. These guided routes are through places possibly unknown to you: legendary forests where werewolves and witches live, national parks... some of them are dramatized, so fun and culture are guaranteed. /li>

As you see, we focus on nature and its treasures. Contact us to do any of the experiences!

The Rías Baixas are one of the most emblematic points of the Galician region, and in Alecrín we do kayak routes through the waters of the Ensenada de San Simón, located in the Vigo estuary. Our center is in this same city, so the kayaks are completely ready to go sailing and reach the island of San Simón, also known as the Iisland of memory.

This route is suitable for the family, children (from 6 years old) and adults, and we leave from Cesantes, in Redondela, in self-emptying boats for 2 people and with oars for both. After rowing through the estuary, we will reach the island, where we will disembark to enjoy its tranquility and splendor.

But the natural landscapes of Galicia also deserve a tour on land. That's why we have a route that combines hiking and kayaking, walking through the riverside forests and observing the traditional constructions related to the use of the river and the forests. Then, we will paddle through calm waters observing its beauty from the boat.

Both experiences are refreshing and simple. The waters are calm and the path has hardly any unevenness, making it a way to enjoy two nature sports without spending excessive energy and enjoying the landscape more.

There is the possibility of doing the kayak tour at night, in the moonlight.

In Alecrín we have prepared a few hiking routes through the extensive natural terrain of Galicia. Our headquarters are in Vigo, but we organize outingsbeyond the province of Pontevedra, occupying the entire Galician region. We move through the forests, which have traces of magic, the mountain ranges, cliffs that hide on the horizon, abandoned towns and animals and plants so varied that they can only be found walking along rural paths.

We do guided tours, such as the one in theSierra del Suído, on the border of Pontevedra with Ourense, very far from the cities and their bustle. We will also follow the trail of the wolf in A Cañiza, walking along the Whispering Valley trail in the A Paradanta region. The Serra da Groba is a route that you are going to love, in the municipalities of Baiona, Oia and O Rosal.

In addition, we have a series of routes that we call "giants": the Lighthouse Route, some sections of the Camino de Santiago and the route of theGalician Waterfalls They are challenging routes in which to confirm the passion for hiking and the Galician land.

You can even subscribe to our services and make a different weekly outing by paying for months.

And if you are excited to travel a path that you know and we do not offer, you can ask us to take that route without any problem. We will make the preparations to go out on your personalized route.
