Embark on a full-day adventure from Santiago de Compostela that showcases the very best of northern Spain, combining ancient history, spectacular coastal landscapes, and authentic Asturian charm.
The journey begins in Lugo, a UNESCO World Heritage city famous for its perfectly preserved Roman walls. Enjoy time to walk along this impressive monument, explore the historic old town, and experience the unique blend of Roman legacy and Galician culture.
Next, head to one of Spain’s most breathtaking natural wonders, Cathedrals Beach (Playa de las Catedrales). Marvel at its towering rock arches and dramatic cliffs shaped by the sea and wind over centuries. During low tide, walk beneath these natural stone “cathedrals” and capture unforgettable photos of this iconic coastline.
Continue along the coast to Isla Pancha, where a striking lighthouse stands above the crashing waves of the Cantabrian Sea. Take in the panoramic views and enjoy a peaceful stop at this scenic landmark.
Lunch time will be in Asturias, in the charming seaside town of Tapia de Casariego, where you’ll have free time to enjoy local cuisine, stroll along the harbor, or relax by the sea and experience the laid-back Asturian lifestyle.
After a day filled with history, nature, and coastal beauty, sit back and enjoy the comfortable return journey to Santiago de Compostela, bringing this unforgettable experience to a perfect close.
