Tui is at the head of the Baixo Miño region, a region bathed by the last kilometres of the river Miño before it reaches the Atlantic. The city has river beaches and natural landscapes of great beauty. Its historic centre is also of singular beauty, where a succession of cobbled streets reveals emblazoned houses and monuments at every turn, including the Santa María cathedral, the only one in the province of Pontevedra.
Tui's surroundings include the Monet Aloia Natural Park, the beautiful fishing village of A Guarda and the impressive Cistercian monastery of Santa María, in the small village of Oia. And in the landscape, the exceptional vineyards where the prestigious wines with D.O. Rías Baixas are grown.
Tui's natural landscape is one of its main attractions. Its setting next to the river Miño means it has river beaches that are suitable for bathing and river sports such as canoeing. It is also ideal for hiking. Near Tui is the Monte Aloia Natural Park, at an altitude of over 600 metres, where you can see the remains of a Cyclopean wall, the Cama de San Xiao rock, the Mirador de la Cruz and the chapel of San Xiao.
Tui is an ideal starting point to explore the Ribeira Sacra, an area comprising the banks of the rivers Sil and Miño, where you can discover the monasteries and temples along its slopes. And, on the other side of the Miño, you can visit nearby Valença do Minho, a picturesque Portuguese walled town.
