Galicia: Magical Nature, Tradition and Unbeatable Seafood
Galicia is a land of legends and breathtaking landscapes; a corner of northwestern Spain where the sea and the mountains intertwine in wild beauty. Its Celtic history, deep spirituality and gastronomy make it a unique destination.
Santiago de Compostela, the capital, is the soul of Galicia. Its majestic cathedral, the goal of the Camino de Santiago, welcomes pilgrims from all over the world. Its cobbled streets, its university atmosphere and the magic of its historic center make it unforgettable.
A Coruña, modern and vibrant, boasts the Tower of Hercules, the oldest functioning Roman lighthouse. Its seafront promenade and Riazor beach are ideal for feeling the Atlantic breeze. Vigo, on the largest estuary in Galicia, is a port city with a life of its own; from here, you can access the paradisiacal Cíes Islands, a paradise of white sand and crystal-clear waters.
But Galicia is much more than its cities. The Costa da Morte, with its imposing cliffs and solitary lighthouses, impresses with its rugged beauty. The Ribeira Sacra, with its terraced vineyards above the river Sil, is a spectacle for the senses. And in Lugo, its Roman wall, a World Heritage Site, is a symbol of its ancient past.
Galician gastronomy is a tribute to the sea and to tradition. Octopus a feira, barnacles and seafood pies are essential delicacies. There is no shortage of caldo gallego (Galician broth) in winter or Galician beef in the rotisseries. All accompanied by a good Albariño or Ribeiro, wines that reflect the essence of the land.
Galician festivities have a special charm. The Viking Pilgrimage of Catoira revives the region's Nordic past; the festival of the Apostle in Santiago fills the city with light and devotion. And in every village, the magic of the queimada and its spells recall the Celtic heritage.
Galicia is a destination of unforgettable emotions and landscapes. Its essence is unique; its atmosphere, enveloping.
