Lugo is the largest province in Galicia, and a land of contrasts: to the north, a Cantabrian coastline with extraordinary beaches; to the south and east, mountain territories such as Os Ancares and O Courel; and in the centre, the Terra Chá and the river valleys of the Miño, green flatland landscapes crossed by rivers and wetlands. More than 55% of its territory is protected by Biosphere Reserves declared by UNESCO, making Lugo a European benchmark for nature conservation. And at the heart of it all, the city of Lugo: a provincial capital with a Roman city wall recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, full services and excellent road connections.
The northern coastline of Lugo, known as A Mariña Lucense, is one of the best-kept secrets on the Spanish coast. Beaches such as the Catedrales — considered among the most beautiful in the world and declared a Natural Monument — or the sweeping sands of Foz and Ribadeo sit alongside estuaries, cliffs and charming fishing villages. Mondoñedo, in the inland part of A Mariña, is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.
The south and east of the province are home to some of the most singular mountain landscapes in Galicia. The Serra do Courel and Os Ancares are high-altitude territories dotted with traditional stone houses, pallozas — pre-Roman constructions that are still standing today — lush forests and spectacular scenery.
In the south of the province, the Miño and Sil rivers carve the spectacular canyons of the Ribeira Sacra, with walls of up to 500 metres, terraced vineyards and medieval monasteries hidden among the forests. The province of Lugo is also crossed by the Camino Primitivo — considered the oldest of all the Camino de Santiago routes — and the Camino del Norte, two Jacobean routes that connect towns, villages and historical heritage across the entire territory.
