Northern Spain, filled with refreshing greenery

Guernica, the city loved by Picasso → The Tower of Hercules with 2,000 years of history... A journey through northern Spain where myth and nature dwell

Broadcast: September 19, 2026 (Sat) 9:40 AM KBS 1TV

Endless meadows, rough Atlantic waves, walls holding thousands of years of time, and pilgrimage routes. We depart for the green summer of northern Spain that we have not yet known.

Gaztelugatxe, a spectacular view crafted by nature

Climbing along the rocky island shaped by waves and medieval stone bridges, a cathedral comes into view. It is a place steeped in the legend that if you ring the cathedral bell three times, your wish will come true. We meet the scenery of Gaztelugatxe, which is also famous as a filming location for movies and dramas.

Guernica, the scars of the Spanish Civil War

Guernica, a city symbolizing Basque democracy, is a city particularly widely known through the works of Picasso. We visit the historical site of Basque autonomy and solidarity that has continued under the oak tree in front of the parliament.

The medieval city of Santillana del Mar and Spain's first national park, Picos de Europa National Park

In the medieval city of 'Santillana del Mar', we encounter cathedrals and stone paths that have withstood the passage of time. Following this, in 'Picos de Europa National Park', we face the 'Lakes of Covadonga' at an altitude of 1,100m. The scenery of herds of cows grazing, snow-capped mountain peaks, and clouds harmonizing shows another face of northern Spain.

The site of Roman and Celtic festivals - Lugo

'Lugo' has ancient Roman walls almost perfectly preserved. There, we find the site of a massive festival restoring the culture of the Romans and the Celts. We capture the scene of a city that revives the distant past into today's festival amidst gladiators, chariot races, magnificent rituals, and street excitement.

A feast of bonfires held on the shortest night - A Coruña

'A Coruña', a major city in the Galicia region of northwestern Spain. We experience the Tower of Hercules, which holds 2,000 years of history, and the Festival of San Juan that burns through the midsummer night. Within the flames of the festival, which inherits the belief of lighting bonfires on the summer solstice to avoid misfortune, an exciting scene unfolds of people praying for luck and hope.

The journey toward the summer of northern Spain, where refreshing nature, deep history, and the passionate lives of people harmonize, can be seen on September 19 at 9:40 AM on KBS 1TV's "Walk Expedition".
