Lugo

Just off the A6 freeway, Galicia's oldest provincial capital is most notable for its 2½-km (1½-mi) Roman wall. These beautifully preserved ramparts completely surround the hidden granite streets of the old town. The walkway on top has good views. The baroque ayuntamiento (city hall) has a magnificent rococo facade overlooking the tree-lined Praza Maior (Plaza Mayor). There's a good view of the Río Miño valley from the Parque Rosalía de Castro, outside the Roman walls near the cathedral.
