4. The history of Ribadeo is linked to emigration, something very characteristic of Galician society. Their special constructions leave us a charming and very welcoming town.

5. Although Illa Pancha is not a very touristy place, it is something that a lover of the sea and nature cannot miss. The island is connected to the mainland thanks to a very narrow bridge and at its tip you can admire the old lighthouse, built in 1857. The herbaceous vegetation takes over this stretch of land, especially with the beautiful cat's claw.

• 3An expensive bus ride

  This was a Spanish/English guided tour. It is worth asking the size of the group. Ours was a coach bus with around 40 people. There were five English speakers. The guide didn’t do a lot of talking. But when they did there seemed to be twice as much to say in Spanish than English. The Cathedral beach was hard to enjoy with lots of people there. Perhaps it was because we went in peak Spanish holiday season. We only had 50 mins in Ribiera, which included 20 minutes walking to and from the bus station where they park the bus. In Lugo we had more time, but again, didn’t get a lot of information from the guide for an area rich in history. We essentially paid 65 Euro for the bus ride.

• 3Not worth it

  Lugo is beautiful. It is full of history and wonderful sites. Ribadeo is not worth the stop to eat. Cathedral Beaches is amazing. Beautiful rock formations and very peaceful. I was not pleased with the tour guide. Too young and inexperienced. We left late because she didn't think that the bus that was there was for us because it was too big for our group size. Also, she insisted on waiting for 3 people who were late and never showed up. When we arrived at each location, she didn't even allow a bathroom break. She went straight to the plaza, gave instructions, and then we used the bathrooms. Really don't recommend.

• 4Great views, not in English

  Natural.scenery was spectacular. Worth going. Although there was supposed to be an english speaking guide, our guides, english was not particularly good. There were many times when none of the english speaking clientele could understand her.

  The excursion started on time and ended on time. The guide was nice and knowledgeable. We had great weather. There was enough time to visit the sites. The bus had AC and it was very comfortable . I would use them again.

About Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia, is the end point of the Camino pilgrimage routes, an old granite city dominated by its great cathedral.

Santiago de Compostela grew around the tomb of St James the Apostle, said to have been found in the ninth century, and pilgrims have walked here along the Camino de Santiago for a thousand years. The cathedral dominates the Praza do Obradoiro with a baroque façade facing the square; inside, the Romanesque Portico of Glory has carved figures, and a giant incense burner, the botafumeiro, swings on special occasions. The old town is a UNESCO site.
