The coastline in northern Spain has some amazing spots. And this place here is one of them…read more There's the small Island with the lighthouse, but only Hotel guests and staff has access to it. But to get the great cliff views here you don't need to be on the island itself. You can see plenty from here. There's a small area to walk around as well, also check out the small beach "Praia De Rochas". There are picnic tables and fireplaces for visitors. Parking here is free, but there are only two small spots to park. But we came here in summer on a weekday and it wasn't a problem finding a spot. The views and cliffs here are really amazing. Very satisfying just to be here and watch the waves hitting the rocks. It's a very peaceful, quiet spot. And not that much visited. It can get pretty windy here, so hold on to your hats and bring - even in summer - maybe a jacket.

Loved the North here in Spain. And this section here around Barreiros is nothing short of amazing…read more Great food, nice friendly locals and a breathtaking landscape. A great and easy thing to do is strolling around this Paseo (Promenade, Boardwalk). Start in Barreiros and just head east. It goes on for miles. Sometimes paved, sometimes on wooden planks. But most of it can also be done with strollers or wheelchairs. Some small parts can be a bit steep for a few meters though. Along the way you will always have the ocean by your side. Lots of benches and picnic places along the Paseo. Even some public restrooms. A few restaurants (with views) as well. And all the time there are some smaller secluded beaches. And even in high season they tend to be pretty empty. So if you look for a hidden gem, a beach to really relax, then this area is for you. Just be aware that the climate here is a bit colder then the rest of the country....and so is the water. It's an easy walk, fits all ages. If you want a longer workout, just keep on walking. For the easy walker just head back any time you get tired. There are free parking lots in Barreiros, just on the field behind the Chiringuita on the Main Street. A good base to start your walk.

Lugo's wall is its most distinctive visual feature that all visitors must climb the steps (~30 to…read moreget up on the wall) and take a stroll around. This World Heritage Site is the world's only complete Roman Wall still standing, and offers 360-views of the city by day and night over about a mile loop. You don't need to pay or get a pass to walk on it--completely free and accessible to the public at any time. I loved to jog around it every night (super safe even after dark); it felt like running on an elevated track/boardwalk around the city that just happens to be thousands of years old.
