What to see and do in Lugo: 5 essentials
We present you the 5 essentials of Lugo, one of the most beautiful cities to see in Galicia.
The Roman Wall
It is certainly the great monument to see in Lugo. It is the best preserved Roman wall in the world and runs around the entire perimeter of the ancient city. The five original doors from the Roman period have been preserved. Quite a milestone.
Cathedral
You have to see it. The Cathedral of Santa María still preserves part of its Romanesque foundations. Do not miss climbing the towers of the cathedral. They say that the western facade is the most impressive but the northern Romanesque is the most beautiful. You judge.
House of Mosaics
There are several museums to see in Lugo, but this is perhaps one of the most interesting. These are archaeological finds that refer to an important building from Roman times. Its mosaics, which give the museum its name, are impressive.
House do Concello
The heart of the city, throbbing with the footsteps of the many visitors who pass through it, is Praza Maior, one of the essential places to visit in Lugo. This wide and tree-lined square houses some of the most attractive and elegant buildings in the old town. The Casa do Concello is the most important of them.
Tapas
The Plaza del Campo is one of the neuralgic points to go for tapas but also its surrounding streets are. In particular, you should not miss Rúa da Cruz and Rúa da Nova.

To finish ... 3 maxims about Galicia in a motorhome
1 Be responsible in a motorhome: do not overcrowd, you see in low season or in interior parts of Galicia
Before going to Galicia by motorhome you should know that Galicia by motorhome in summer and mainly on the coast is very crowded in recent years. That and that the parking spaces are sometimes very small makes the best time to go to Galicia in a motorhome is always out of high season, that is, outside of July and August, which is when the coastal points are overcrowded above all.
If you go in July and August in a motorhome, a recommendation: always stay in campsites or motorhome areas and move if you have the possibility by motorcycle or in a small rental car.
2 Under no circumstances camp, be responsible, wild camping is totally prohibited
Camping is prohibited in all of Spain, but Galicia also has protected natural areas, for which all the more reason we must be the most respectful of the environment.
We know that the vigilance by the civil guard and local police is maximum before the encampments and that they are fined 200 euros for it. So, do not camp and do not spend the night in the forbidden places.
REMEMBER, CAMPING IS OUT OF THE PERIMETER OF YOUR VEHICLE (take out a table and chairs, awning, open windows, spend more than 72 hours in the same place ...).
