Though Galicia's most famous sights are the cities of Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña, what makes Galicia an essential stop on your Spanish vacation is the landscape, the villages and the stunning Rias, the sunken valleys that adorn the coast to the north and west (the Rias are often described as 'estuaries', but this isn't strictly true as not all of the Rias lead to rivers).

1. Fisterra (Finisterre) & the Coast of Death
Fisterra (Finisterre in Galician) was just about the most westerly point of the Roman empire and was believed to be the end of the world. The fierce weather experienced here led credence to the Roman's sense of geography.In addition to visiting Fisterra, you will also see the villages of Noia, the 14th Century Pontenafonso Bridge, Muros and Carnota, which has Galicia's longest beach and largest stone granary.
Three-course lunch is included.
