What to expect
Expect narrow coastal roads threading through Galician countryside, punctuated by stops at jaw-dropping vistas and fishing settlements frozen in time. Your guide navigates the 4x4 with ease whilst sharing stories of shipwrecks, pilgrimage routes and local characters. You'll walk short stretches to lighthouses and clifftop shrines, then pause in village cafés or harbourside restaurants (your shout). The light shifts dramatically across raw stone and sea. Afternoons often turn misty; mornings are clearest. This isn't a tick-the-box tour—it's a slow reveal of how people actually live on one of Europe's most unforgiving coasts.
