El BierzoEuronews started its journey in El Bierzo, in the province of León, before heading to Ribeira Sacra and Rias Baixas, to discover three of the eight wine appellations along the 800km route.
Raúl Pérez, one of the most renowned oenologists in the world, has a deep link with the Camino de Santiago. His first personal wine project took its name from the pilgrims' greeting, Ultreia.
"I had nothing when I started my project. Every day was a new day, an improvement. It reminded me of the people who walked the Camino and who were fighting to arrive. That vision of the Camino, of the people walking, helped me a lot, that word (Ultreia) represents that eagerness, that voice of encouragement that you need many times to continue," he explained.
