Best described as similar to Ireland or Cornwall, Galicia is unique and unlike anywhere else in Spain. Galicia is also known as the ‘land of a thousand rivers’ and is separated from the rest of Spain by a wide range of mountains on all sides, while the river Mino separates it from Portugal. Blessed with a long and serpentine coastline that consists of beautiful sandy beaches, isolated tiny coves, and bordered by high cliffs, sheltered harbours and fishing ports, Galicia is truly gaining ground as a popular destination for those who prefer balmy climes to hot summers. A wonderful place to get the complete taste of simple and traditional Spain, Galicia lies in the northwest and is the most western region in Europe! Imagine 1,200 Km long stretch of palm fringed shores, 750 sandy beaches, and 275kms of white sparkling sand – that’s Galicia for you!
