Activities

On the occasion of the celebration of the International Day of the Tourist Guide, the Professional Association of Guides of Galicia
will offer free guided tours throughout the day on Friday, February 21st, in many places in Galicia. At the end of the tours, whose objective is to make visible the work of these professionals, a group especially affected by intrusion and unfair competition, donations will be collected on a voluntary basis for the Galician Multiple Sclerosis Federation, FEGADEM.
