Thanks so much, Stuart! I spent two months in Galicia in 2017 and absolutely loved it. We visited Lugo many times, and it was wonderful to see this beautiful city and have a brief virtual walk around it and the Roman Walls again. We're planning to get back to Galicia as soon as possible.

Love the travel video! It's great to see this part of Spain, I hope I can visit Galicia one day!

You are a good walker Stuart! I know from experience that city very well, in fact I will be in the centre tomorrow morning. You showed us most of the sights in the centre, you passed the bar where my Irish friend and I sometimes play and the magnificent cheese shop! Until a few years ago it was normal to drive over the Roman bridge across the Miño but it was converted to pedestrian only when the new suspension bridge was built further down the river. It was single lane with priority to those already on the bridge. The streets are much less busy now with the virus about, it is normally a bustling place and the night life is very good. I enjoyed your tour of "my" city very much.

​@@USERRINZLER There are two possibilities. First one, it comes from latin "Lucus Augusti", that's the name Romans gave to our city. Others think it can come also from the name Lugh, which was a celtic god.

How funny ! i was telling my cousing about your channel and you literally walked in front of his house ! 😆 he lives in Lugo inside the walls by the restaurants. Thank you Stuart ! Very refreshing video ! Relaxing and great music.

Hi Stuart, Great tour, it is a very pretty place seems very quiet there, love the music, thank you for sharing, Take care

Great video again 👍, I like the new format.

Stuart what a truly spectacular place clean with nice open spaces thank you for sharing

Very good vid Stuart, thanks from Lugo 👍🏿

Thanks for the visit to Lugo! Loved your choice of music also.

Hi Stuart what a amazing place and buildings so beautiful and stunning thank you for showing me around xx

Took a rest day in Lugo while walking the Camino Primitivo a couple of years ago. Loved the city and particularly the amazing city walls. Thanks for the video.

Nice format! Thank you for the Lugo appetizer, looking forward to the full Galicia experience one day soon!

What a lovely city! Thank you Stuart, lovely video, like a little movie. Music is so nice too!

Wow, what a beautiful place. Up until now I had no desire to travel as I am still not sure that it is safe but after watching this I am starting to feel maybe I could go somewhere. Thank you so much for the video even though all of my fears came at once, heights, walking over drains and birds flying close by. Thanks again Stuart.

I live there!, I saw the roman wall too in person and its more big than it looks. Thanks for visiting it :)

Thanks for the tour, wonderful place.

Charming place Stu 👌🏼 really enjoyed your walking tour of Lugo 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing your Galicia adventures Amigo

I am from Mexico but I have visited Lugo several times. Part of my heart is in Lugo, I love that city and Galicia too. Your video is wonderful, thank you very much for that tour.❤️🙏 I really miss Lugo!

awesome stuff mate looking forward to the next vid

Thanks for the walking tour. Such a beautiful city.

Looks great, will be visiting in July for a couple of days when me are on a Vespa tour around the picos so looking forward to it as a little stop over, thanks for sharing

Lovely video, Stuart. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the walking tour, beautiful architecture and city, northern Spain looks beautiful. Thanks for showing

Excellent tour. Lovely place

Hi Stuart, love your channel and thanks for the superb video as usual! I'm an Irishman living in Pamplona, Navarra and Lugo isn't too dissimilar to my adopted city. This week would usually be Pamplona's famous San Fermin celebration and running of the bulls, alas that's cancelled this year of course. Hopefully you'll be able to do a video about Pamplona some time soon! I look forward to seeing it. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Nice town; looks like there's lots for a visitor to see and do.

That was excellent thank you..very pretty ..great music too

WoW very cool city! Really cool how a large part of the city is surrounded by an old historical wall. Even more cool that you can actually walk across the top of it! Enjoyed checking the city out on Google Earth to gain even more perspective about how the city is designed around the wall.

Love Galicia my family is from there, if you get a chance go to Muros De San Pedro , beautiful place and Louro next door has great beaches

Nice vid Stuart. We did a mini Argo road trip and took in the Baiona area (Portsmouth ferry to Cherbourg, La Rochelle, Biarritz, Baiona and Porto) a couple of years ago to visit a friend at his lovely self-built villa among the pines overlooking the bay and islands for a few days. Beautiful countryside and coastline. The people were very welcoming and even with English not widely spoken, accepted that my Spanish was very limited, we managed to communicate locally with lots of smiles back. Really enjoyed the area and the run down to Porto. Crossing the Pyrenees from Biarritz into Spain was also quite spectacular, maybe worth a trip for you sometime?

What a wonderful looking place

Wonderful keep the videos coming :)

I just looked at apartments for rent there! I didn't notice until I saw your thumbnail. I saw the same building in the pictures for the apartment. I think it was almost right next to it.

Tha ks for the excellent video Stuart. Hope you can find the time to come to the Canaries and see my island of La Palma - La Isla Bonita ( the beautiful island.).

Love Lugo!!

I think you were here a little before or a little after our Arde Lucus festival. Last year it was cancelled for the virus, there were just a few activities, with a lot of health measures, only to remind ourselves that the festival should have to be celebrated on those days. However, we changed it for an online festival, and I think it was pretty amazing, given the circumstances. If you can come back another year, I truly think you'd enjoy the festival a lot. It's a historical recreation of our roman and celtic past, with lots of activities during 3-4 days. All day, and almost all night. It's almost impossible to see all the city has to offer during those days. But it's not history all the time. In Lugo we know how to mix history and fiesta! People really enjoy it.

Great video. Lugo looks beautiful. I had barely heard of the place only because they have a football team CD Lugo playing in the Segunda Division. I have only been to Galicia once. (Santiago de Compostela and La Coruña. I was not doing the camino.). I would like to go back to La Coruña sometime. How is internal Spanish travel? What are trains and long distance buses like in la nueva normalidad. I would assume that AVE is probably quite safe as there is plenty of space to spread people out. Also in some AVE stations you have to check in and pass your bags thorugh a airport style x ray machine. In Madrid Puerta de Atocha, after you you pass security you wait upstairs in a kind of departure lounge and then show your ticket and go down a ramp onto the platform. I remember people being quite well spread out anyway so it would not be difficult to adapt. How are regional trains? P.S. León and Ponferrada also look worth visiting.Maybe someday, I´ll have to hire a car in Madrid and go for a bit of a road trip.

love the map to start, showing us where it is from where you live

If anyone is interested in the Camino de Santigo. The primitive way or the oldest route starts in Lugo, ends in Santiago de Compostela (102km) This route would take about week or less to complete. You can see the Camino markers in the beginning of the video.

Hi Stuart, what is the precentage of open businesses now? Lets assume boarders and flights traffic suddenly came back to normal, will visiting Spain now be boring due to the restrictions? What about Hotels and Airbnb's, are they adopting serious precaution measures? Thanks Enjoying your vlogs 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video Stu, but leave out the background music please.. regards Tony (cuenca)

Can anyone tell me the name of this song? I've been looking for it endlessly.

The north coast of Lugo province from Viveiro to Ribadeo is on lockdown. 71,000 people cannot leave the area and I presume tourists from outside cannot come in. Over 100 cases. And this happened just as the hotels were opening up. La Playa de las Catedrales, the iconic beach near Ribadeo, is in the zone. Asturias has tightened its border at Ribadeo so the virus doesn't spread into their territory.

What is the first piece of music you use here (would you mind having music credits in your video descriptions when you use music)? Also, is this amount of graffiti exceptional or normal in Galicia, or Spain in general?

Wow beautiful ❤️🌈

Looks like a lovely clean city unlike the UK where every street is strewn with litter.

Hi William , it seems the video was recorded at morning, the center of the town is just made for tourist, bars, terraces, restaurants, and interesting places like the cathedral, churches etc, july and August many people in Lugo has a second house in the countryside and it was just after the lockdown so probably many of locals escaped to the beach or the countryside, anyway Lugo is an small town so the activity isn´t like a big city, i live in Madrid and if i had the opportunity... i would prefer live in a place like Lugo

La muralla de Lugo con sus más de 2 kilómetros de longitud, es la mejor conservada del mundo e su estructura romana. Desde Santiago de Compostela, capital de Galicia y patrimonio de la humanidad, un saludo.

Spain 🇪🇸, get rid of your graffiti ‼️ It ruins a beautiful town 🤦‍♀️

You tricked us, Stuart. Yesterday you said that you were back in your apartment in Madrid. How did you find time to drive up to Lugo from Piornedo and then back to Madrid? I bet you were tired. Lugo is a beautiful little city, not the modern part but the area inside the Roman walls. I noticed the horrible graffitti calling for a vote for the anti-fascists. Lugo has the second largest population of Galego speakers (33%) after Santiago de Compostela (35%). That wall is about 2 kim. long and can be easily walked. Too bad though that almost nothing was said about the city. It seemed like a waste for anyone wanting to know more about Lugo. We only learned the name of the river Minho, the most important river in Galicia, which flows into the Atlantic and passes through Orense. Stuart, I hope your next videos gets better as far as information goes. There is so much history here and you ignored it.
