An amazing trip through the north coast of Spain. We invite you on a journey through four regions of the so-called Green Spain: Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. The route through the land shrouded in legends is extremely spectacular. There are non-obvious places, magnificent monuments, endless beaches, high cliffs. It is an opportunity to reach the end of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route and to set foot on Cape Finisterre, which was considered the end of the world during the Roman Empire. At the latter point, on the route of many pilgrims, there is the westernmost lighthouse in Europe, and most importantly, there is a spectacular view of the Death Coast - Costa da Morte. The local waters hide numerous shipwrecks, it is because of the numerous sinkings in the past that the coast got its name. The program includes the legendary lighthouse in A Coruña, a city that witnessed the defeat of the English corsair Francis Drake and which "awakened the senses" of Pisass. The highlights of the program also include: the famous Covadonga Sanctuary, hidden among mountain peaks, a unique spectacle of nature at Ézaro waterfall, Palaeolithic cave art in Altamira, the unique Las Catedrales Beach and Gaudí's architectural whim, "El Capricho", one of the few buildings this architect located outside Catalonia. We invite you to discover Green Spain. Route: approx. 1750 km.
