About the province of Lugo: Lugo is renowned for its well-preserved Roman walls, which encircle the old town and are a UNESCO World Heritage site. The province is characterized by its lush green landscape, part of the Green Spain, and its relatively cool and wet climate. The economy of Lugo is traditionally based on agriculture and fishing, with dairy farming, beef production, and the cultivation of crops such as potatoes and corn being significant. The coastal areas are known for their high-quality seafood. Lugo is also a stop on the Camino Primitivo, one of the routes of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.
