NORTHERN SPAIN
With its staggering landscapes, well-preserved medieval villages, picturesque wine regions, the beautiful Bay of Biscay, Asturias Principality and the Santiago de Compostela city, Northern Spain is a destination worth being explored. For a unique historical experience, Galicia would be the ideal stop. Galicia is significant for the pilgrim route – Camino de Santiago.Here
GALICIA
Intertwined with the Atlantic Ocean, Galicia is located in the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula and is a destination worth exploring. From high hills to rolling fields, Galicia is an everlasting green landscape. Its rugged coast, untouched beaches and mild climate makes Galicia the green jewel of Spain – our best kept travel secret. Each city, village or trail is symbolic and reflects Galicia’s heritage and traditions. The Galician culture takes pride in their Celtic heritage and native language, Galego and boasts some of the best seafood and wines in Spain. Here
GALICIA FROM THE NORTH TO SOUTH
This expertly guided Hosted Journey will take you on a trip through Galicia, from the Rías Altas to the Rías Bajas. Highlights will include historical lighthouses, crossing some of Europe’s highest cliffs, visiting Romanesque churches in Ribeira Sacra, sailing to the islands of Cíes where the beaches are among some of the most beautiful in the world, to tasting exceptional Albariño wines. Relaxation and fun also have a space in this itinerary: enjoy a fun Galician cooking workshop and other gastronomic delights of the region.
SOUTH AFRICA’S FINEST PINOTAGE
Dear IKON Uncorked readers, it is with excitement that I write about the Pinotage varietal (grape type) for this month’s newsletter. When thinking about wine, we should always think about the fruit (grape) and how the juice from this fruit is the basis for a wines essence. Here
