Description

Embark on a journey where every step tells a millennia-old story, every bite evokes traditions, and every landscape awakens the senses. From the Gothic majesty of León to the mystique of Lake Sanabria, this six-day tour combines singular architecture, awe-inspiring nature, living heritage, and authentic flavors.

Explore cathedrals that dance with the light, Templar fortresses that whisper legends, Roman gold mines sculpted by time, and villages stopped among castles and chestnut groves. Enjoy dinners with local identity at historic Paradores, wine tastings at family-run wineries, stargazing under clear skies, and walks through forests where myths still dwell.

A journey designed to reconnect with the land, with history... and with you.
