When travelers think about exploring Britain for the first time, Wales comes rarely first. It is a pity, for a region that is so rich of remote medieval castles, historic sites, hiking trails, splendid lakes and natural areas. True, Wales has suffered from deindustrialization, whose scars are still visible, mainly in the cities. However, if you dare to go away from urban areas and take enough time to explore and get lost, meet people, learn the culture, it will end up for you in an amazing experience. The Welsh are a proud people, and their identity has remained strong; they like nothing more than sharing it.
