Free Tour of Lugo

Lugo, called Lucus Augusti during the times of the Roman Empire, is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Roman Wall and Lugo Cathedral. It is also one of the principal stops on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route which runs along the north of Spain.
After exploring the essential sights around the historical center of Lugo, it is time to try some of the famous local gastronomy in the traditional bars and eateries around the Plaza do Campo square.
