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.

The humid soil that exists throughout the year in Galicia has meant that its forests have many species of mushrooms, both edible and poisonous. At Alecrín Activities and Adventure we have several mycological routes to discover mushrooms and so that you can learn what you need to go out on your own to the forest to look for them.

Our center is in Vigo, in the province of Pontevedra, but we also operate anywhere in Galicia that you know and want to visit, because we do personalized activities near your accommodation.

It is possible that in one day you will see more mushrooms than in your entire life, and of all types. With the typical mushroom shape, with strange shapes, with a delicious flavor and other very curious ones.

One of the places we will explore is the Cortegada Island, in the Illas Atlánticas Natural Park, where we will find the lactarius queticolor, chanterelles and the rare clitopilus scyphoides, among many more species.

The other place is the Tea River valley, in Mondariz, where there is also an astonishing variety of boletus, chanterelles and more types of mushrooms.

And remember that we can move to the native areas of your area to discover the world of mushrooms that surrounds you.
