Galicia between the stones and the water

Ofrecido por Alternative Ways

Entre pazos, monasterios, viñedos y bodegas
Galicia siempre sorprende. Cubierta de bosques y de musgo, de frondosos valles en los que asoman pazos y monasterios; y el azul de un mar que se adentra caprichosamente en tierra. Paisajes con historia y leyenda, pequeños pueblos marineros y ciudades monumentales. Viñedos escarpados en lugares impensables y sabrosos manjares de tierra y de mar. Es mucho lo que ofrece Galicia y a lo largo de este viaje tendremos la oportunidad de comprobarlo.

Galicia between the stones and the water

Provided by Alternative Ways

Between pazos, monasteries, vineyards and wineries
Galicia is always surprising. Covered with forests and moss, with leafy valleys where pazos and monasteries can be seen; and the blue of a sea that capriciously penetrates the land. Landscapes with history and legend, small fishing villages and monumental cities. Steep vineyards in unthinkable places and tasty delicacies from land and sea. Galicia has a lot to offer and throughout this trip we will have the opportunity to see for ourselves.
