Galicia
Galicia
Galicia is Spain’s northwestern region, famous for its green landscapes, Atlantic coastline, and strong cultural traditions. Its capital, Santiago de Compostela, is the final destination of the world-famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and home to one of Europe’s most remarkable cathedrals. Along the coast, Galicia offers dramatic scenery: the wild cliffs of the Costa da Morte, the long sandy beaches of the Rías Baixas, and picturesque fishing towns where seafood is central to daily life. Inland, you’ll find medieval monasteries, Roman walls in Lugo, and villages that preserve Galicia’s Celtic heritage.

History and Heritage
Our history and heritage tours and trips take you back in time to Asturias’ unique past.
Asturias’ history started millions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed its coast. In the Paleolithic, our ancestors left incredible cave art, such as in World Heritage Site Tito Bustillo.
The Romans built bridges, aqueducts and public baths. The Reconquista started in Asturias with the famous Battle of Covadonga in 722. Here, Asturias’ first King Pelayo defeated the Arabs. During the subsequent reign of the Asturian dynasty (722-910), the pre-Romanesque style was born. You can still visit some pre-Romanesque buildings, for example San Julián de los Prados and Santa María del Naranco in Oviedo.
In the 19th and 20th century, thousands of Asturians emigrated to ‘Las Americas’. The people who returned (Indianos) built large mansions inspired by Latin- American architecture. You can still visit many of them today.
The Industrial Revolution, especially the development of coal and iron mines, and the resultant iron and steel industry still shapes the current Asturian identity and culture.
