Lutega Hopsteiner España Concello Lugo

Dear colleagues,

Meeting of the Scientific-Technical Commission, has been held from 03-07 July 2022 in the brand-new Hotel Mercure Lugo Centro, Lugo, Galicia, Spain.


The Spanish autonomous community of Galicia (‘Galiza’ in native language) has a >100-year history of hop growing, with a peak in production from 1950 to 1970; in 2004, hop growing was revitalized again in the region. Lugo (population 100,000) is the only city in the World to be surrounded by completely intact 3rd century Roman walls, which are protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.


Thanks to all for your time and efforts to collaborate with the STC. In the following links you will find the final proceedings and photo galleries of the event.
