Region: Galicia

Galicia is a magical and mysterious land, an 'end of the world' (Finisterre) forged by rain, granite and the power of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a place of deep traditions, legends of 'meigas' (witches) and a culture with strong Celtic roots. Its capital, Santiago de Compostela, is the final destination for thousands of pilgrims who travel the Camino, creating a unique and universal atmosphere. The Galician landscape is an infinite green that merges with the sea in the Rías, flooded river valleys that create a perfect ecosystem for the best seafood in the world. It is a land of wild cliffs on the Costa da Morte, spectacular canyons in the Ribeira Sacra and paradisiacal beaches like the Cíes Islands. Visiting Galicia is letting yourself be embraced by its nature, surrendering to its gastronomy and feeling the energy of a place with soul.

Best time
**Summer (late June to early September)** is the most popular time with the most stable weather, ideal for enjoying the beaches and parties. **Spring and autumn** are excellent to do the Camino de Santiago and enjoy the landscape with fewer people. **Winter** is rainy and cool, but it has a special charm to enjoy spoon-fed cuisine and see the power of the sea on the coast.
