Galicia's Absolute Essentials

Galicia’s landscape is defined by its rugged Atlantic coastline and deep-rooted history. This selection features the dramatic "end of the world" at Cape Fisterra and the northernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula at Estaca de Bares. Beyond the coast, the list highlights Roman heritage in Lugo and medieval architecture seen in the fortified Torres de Mens and the Romanesque monastery of San Xiao de Moraime. From the lighthouses of the Costa da Morte to the hilltop fortresses of Vigo, these sites represent the region's spiritual and defensive legacy.
