The autonomous community of Galicia is situated in the North-Western side of Spain, being bordered by Portugal. The name of the province is also known as Galiza and it is pronounced in various ways, depending on the area. This province has earned the title of a historic nationality and it is composed of the provinces A Coruna, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra. Galicia is bordered by Atlantic Ocean and it is one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
The greatest parts of the landscapes here are picturesque and have a rather raw, celtic aspect, by comparison to the southern side of Spain, which tends to be more exotic. The cliffs are extremely high and covered by grass and vegetation and the villages are traditional and exhale the Spanish culture through its pores.
This region is extremely old, dating from the Middle Palaeolithic. The first inhabitants that could be detected through archaeological evidence were the Gallaeci, who were Celtic people living in the northern side of the Douro River. The Visigoths, the Romans and the Arabs evolved on these lands. Many castros, the houses of Gallaeci, were discovered here, as well as temples, baths, statues and carvings that were turned into monuments. The history of Galicia is long and complex, enriched by wars and extreme movements. Even so, the beauty of the lands has regenerated century after century, being able to offer today one of the most attractive touristic objectives in Spain.
The capital of Galicia is Santiago de Compostela, also known as A Coruna. La Coruna, Vigo, Sanxenxo, POntevedra and Ourense are also favourite destinations of the holiday makers from the entire world. Except for the extraordinary mountain landscapes, Galicia also offers long coastlines with light blue, crystal clear waters, exquisite monuments, imposing structures and natural reservations. Galicia is known to be the land of the 1000 rivers, due to the rivers that cross the area, from the mountainside to the coastline.
