Roads Less Travelled - Spain

Lonely Planet photojournalist Dominic Bonuccelli blazes a trail through the far north of Spain, from the rugged coastal province of Galicia with its rich Celtic history, to the mysterious country of the Basques. He runs with bulls, hunts for barnacles, wrestles wild horses and sets fire to his clothes, all in the name of putting the spotlight on a region that has fiercely protected its customs and identity.
