Overview

In the far north west corner of Spain, for centuries journey’s-end for pilgrims travelling from all over Europe and long considered the end of the earth, the Celtic land of Galicia has much to offer today’s visitor.

Tour Highlights
  • Rugged ocean coastline. Lush green hills

  • World famous seafood & Albariño wine

  • Celtic roots visible throughout

  • Finisterre – the Romans’ worlds-end

  • Ribera Sacra – the sacred river

Apart from this rich heritage there are miles of beautiful coastline and an interior with many little known wonders in a province larger than Wales.

For the foodies there’s plenty to relish with Spain’s best seafood and some fantastic white wines as well as good meat and garden produce.
