Anyone who only knows the Mediterranean coast of Spain can hardly believe their eyes: the mild and humid Atlantic climate makes the landscape shine green and the towering cliffs are almost reminiscent of Ireland. Galicia is located in northwestern Spain and has nearly 1,700 kilometers of coastline. White sandy beaches alternate with high cliffs and the waves invite you to surf.
Culture lovers will also benefit from a trip through Galicia. Santiago de Compostela with its magnificent cathedral is undoubtedly the most famous city in Galicia, because the Way of St. James ends here. Also worth seeing is the port city of La Coruña with its beautiful old town, the Plaza de María Pita, the Faro de Hércules, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, or the city of Lugo.
Galicia is also known for good cuisine and the cultivation of white wine. The excellent quality and variety of local products serve as the basis for a wide variety of delicacies and dishes.
