We suggest an ideal plan to discover the best of Oia, a municipality where the sea, the mountains and history come together. Whether you come with family, friends or as a couple, here you’ll find the perfect combination of tranquility, scenery and authentic experiences.
You can start the day by exploring one of the hiking routes that cross the municipality, linking forests, hills and natural viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic. You can check them out on our website and let yourself be carried away by the adventure. One of the most recommended is the Ruta do Curro da Valga, which combines nature and culture, passing through traditional livestock enclosures where the ancestral curro is still held.

After your walk, there’s nothing better than a refreshing dip in nature. Oia is a land of natural pools and crystal-clear waterfalls, such as those in Mougás, where the sound of the river and the freshness of the surroundings create the perfect place to relax and unwind.
In the afternoon, head to the Arrabal neighborhood, the historic heart of Oia, where the imposing Monasterio de Santa María de Oia dominates the landscape facing the ocean. Its walls, rich in history, bear witness to centuries of monastic and seafaring life, offering a unique setting to stroll through cobbled streets and breathe in the essence of the Atlantic.
To end the day, nothing beats enjoying the sunset at the mirador de A Cabeciña, one of the most magical spots in the municipality. From there, the views open up to the sea and the horizon, offering one of the most beautiful sunsets in Galicia, with golden light reflecting on the ocean.
A day in Oia leaves you with the feeling of having discovered an authentic place, where time stands still and every corner invites you to return.
