There’s so much to see in Galicia. Well, if not, this website wouldn’t have been there off course 😉
Galicia contains several cities that are worth a visit. Full of history, but also with modernities; with a lively nightlife, but also some quiet spots; with a rich gastronomie to enjoy the Galician kitchen. Get to know the cities Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Vigo, Lugo and Ourense.
Besides it’s cities Galicia also contains a beautiful and wide nature. A lot of nature! The mountains that seperates Galica from Spain, the many woods inlands and the enormous, and sometimes rough, coastline in the west and the north. Unique in Galicia are it’s Rias, the sea streams that go inlands from the Atlantic Ocean.
