Galicia & Asturias

Galicia & Asturias

Located in Atlantic Europe Galicia is bordered by Portugal to the south, Asturias to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Galicia is characterized by a hilly landscape; mountain ranges rise to 6,600 ft in the east and south. The coastal areas are mostly an alternate series of rias and beaches.

We depart from Vigo (LEVX) and proceed north to the famous Santiago de Compostela Cathedral followed by a landing at Santiago (LEST). The route continues west to the small general aviation airport A Fervenza  (LEMZ), then north to the Roman lighthouse - the Tower of Hercules before landing at A Coruna’s Alvedro Airport (LECO).  We depart to the north then east to reach the Beach of the Cathedrals on the northwest coast of Spain and then a landing at Villaframil Airport (LEVF) on the coast. We follow the Biscay coast for a landing at Aeropuerto De Asturias (LEAS) near the industrial city of Avilés.  After departure we overfly the Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre (an Asobo POI) before heading inland across magnificent mountain territory of Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Natural Park and on to Leon (LELN).  Departing Leon a circuit around León Cathedral then we proceed north crossing the Picos de Europa before reaching  the Bay of Biscay.  The Palacio de Deportes de Santander is our last Asobo POI before landing at our destination Santander (LEXJ)

The route is 400nm and an aircraft capable of a cruise speed of 200knts will work will.  I plan to provide entertaining landings in the SWS PC-12.
