Galicia
No visitor to Galicia at Spain’s north western corner should miss a trip to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the magnificent Romanesque cathedral that marks the end of the traditional medieval pilgrimage route - The Way of Saint James.
Begun in the 11th century, the cathedral blends various architectural styles, with the Obradoiro façade being considered one of the finest examples of Spanish Baroque. Anyone interested in pilgrimage must also visit the museum there, which traces the origins of the pilgrimage routes to Compostela.
La Coruña is steeped in history, from its old town to the striking Torre de Hercules - a Roman lighthouse still guiding boats into harbour.
Inland Galicia is still densely wooded and relatively unpopulated. Its coast features fjord-like indentations, called rias, which make for fantastic fishing. As a result the region’s specialities include a great variety of fish and seafood. In winter there is a hearty ham and turnip stew. There are plenty of cakes and pastries, all washed down with the local wine.
