Some of Spain’s Most Beautiful Beaches Are Here:

Forget the Costa del Sol or the Costa Dorada; Galicia is home to some of Spain’s best beaches. Galicia borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea, meaning that it has around 1,200 kilometres (746 miles) of coastline, and is home to many spectacular beaches. Playa de Rodas, in the Islas Cies, is one of the most picturesque.

The End of the Earth Is Here

Located in the province of A Coruña, along the Coasta da Morte (Coast of Death) you’ll find Finisterre, which means ‘the end of the Earth’. The westernmost point in Spain, it was once thought to be the end of the world, but the Azores Islands in Portugal are now known to be Europe’s westernmost point.

It’s Home to Many Thermal Baths

Galicia is dotted with many natural swimming pools, heated by thermal waters. Mostly situated in the Ourense province, they are perfect places to stay toasty and warm during Galicia’s cold winters. One of the best outdoor spas is Termas Prexigueiro, where you can enjoy a thermal circuit of five different hot pools.

It’s a Foodies’ Paradise

Galicia may not be internationally renowned for its food, in the same way as Valencia is famous for its paellas, or the Basque Country for its pintxos, but it is home to some unique and tasty cuisine. Check out our top dishes from Galicia you should try, from Galician-style octopus to tarta de Santiago made from almonds. The portions here are absolutely huge, so you won’t go hungry.

It Has a Lot in Common With Celtic Regions

Galicia has a lot in common with other Celtic lands such as Brittany, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Galicians even have their own local form of bagpipes, which they play on special occasions, such as festivals.
