Galicia: Where Green Meets Ocean Breeze
The Soul of Atlantic Flavours
Co-hosted by Anna and Michael Olson
A Northern Spain Journey
Where the Atlantic Shapes Every Table
Join FTD Agency, Anna and Michael Olson for an elevated journey through Galicia, where emerald valleys, dramatic river canyons and Atlantic waters shape one of Europe's most distinctive culinary cultures.
From Santiago de Compostela's golden-granite streets to the wild coastline of Finisterre, terraced vineyards of Ribeira Sacra, and shellfish-rich estuaries of Rías Baixas, every day reveals a new expression of northern Spain's soul.
Designed for travellers who value unhurried moments, meaningful local encounters, and extraordinary food rooted in place.
