DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES:
16/06/2018 - FIRST DAY:
In the morning:
We will visit the legendary fortified Lugo Walls, the only ones that remains intact in the world and only for that reason it is worth coming to see it. We will go up to the “adarve” (highest part of the fortified walls and contemplate Lucus Augusti (the roman parties & performances).
We will see the Roman Bridge, one of the most beautiful places in this city.
We will visit the Plaza Mayor and the old town.
We will eat traditional Galician delicacies in a family restaurant with a stately air from the 18th century.
In the afternoon:
We will enjoy a visit to the Marcelle zoo, where we can see species of the native fauna, such as the wolf, the wild boar, the brown bear... but also exotic species such as the bison, meerkats, kangaroos...
17/06/2018 - SECOND DAY:
In the morning:
Mandatory stop in Ribadeo, a beautiful village located on the border between Galicia and Asturias. An ideal place to enjoy good country / sea food and its picturesque village.
We will take a wonderful boat ride along the Ribadeo estuary, we will discover the union between two twons and cultures, and we will even stop in Castropol, (town on the Asturian Riviera) to have a bit of their local traditionally grown cider. After the boat ride, we will enjoy the spectacular Galician cuisine in a charming restaurant next to the port.
In the afternoon:
To end the day at the beach of the Cathedrals is priceless; it was declared Natural Monument. We will cross the narrow corridors between the cliffs, crevices, caves and under their enormous arches. A spectacular landscape, crystal clear waters, fine white sand, worth admiring its beauty.
THIRD DAY:
We will say goodbye to Lugo, and with a very good taste in the mouth, taking a beautiful walk along the river Miño. The Miño Park is the ideal place to relax, enjoy outdoor activities, lie down and sunbathe... a place where is extremely easy to disconnect from the mundane World.
After the boat ride, we will enjoy a spectacularly nice and tasteful local cuisine´s dinner.
