Green Spain

Region

Spain's rainy, green Atlantic north. Santiago de Compostela is the end of the Camino pilgrimage, Galicia has seafood and wild rías, Asturias has the Picos de Europa and cider houses, and Cantabria has Santander's beaches and the cave paintings of Altamira. Summer is the best season; it rains a lot the rest of the year.
