Galicia010.JPG
Galicia is situated on the North West coast of Green Spain, just above Portugal, making it a geographically, scenically and culturally different to many of Spain's better known southern provinces..Whilst a part of the mainland, Galicia is an autonomous community with a cultural heritage, climate and geography that are distinct from the rest of Spain. Although the region's history and scenery are often promoted as the areas main vacation attractions, beautiful beaches fill the "rias" (bays) of three of the four provinces in Galicia and the scent of pine and eucalyptus are ever present..
