Located in Northwestern Spain, Galicia makes up Spain's Atlantic coastline. The region is more green, luscious and rainy compared to other regions of Spain. Our first stop in Galicia was the coastal city of Vigo. A lovely city in its own right, it also acts as the main transport hub to our other major destination in Galicia, the Cíes Islands. The Cíes Islands form part of the Atlantic Islands National Park, and is filled with beautiful beaches and wildlife, notably birdlife.
After our time visiting Vigo and the Cíes Islands, we headed to the capital city of Galicia: Santiago de Compostela. Santiago de Compostela is known for being the final destination of the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, and the alleged burial site of the Biblical apostle St. James.
From Santiago de Compostela we headed north along the rugged Costa da Morte in the northwestern region of Galicia. We stopped at the Playa de los Cristales as well as the beautiful Playa de las Catedrales.
If you find yourself travelling around Spain, be sure to head over to the beautiful region of Galicia, you won't regret it! Watch our video of our time in Vigo and Santiago de Compostela for a detailed travel guide and itinerary of these two cities as well as the best way to explore other areas of Galicia!

@marvinbrando722, te informo que en las Rías Baixas gallegas hay tantas horas de sol en julio y agosto como en la Costa Brava catalana. Lamento que hayas caído en el tópico interesado del resto de España hacia Galicia. Sí, es cierto que en invierno suele llover mucho, pero la primavera y el verano son una delicia en la hermosa Galicia. Afortunadamente tenemos más agua que la España árida y seca; en estos tiempos de sequía y cambio climático, el país gallego con la abundancia de agua y su verdor maravilloso es una excepción envidiada por muchos, y se nota. Un saludo desde Santiago de Compostela, capital de Galicia y ciudad patrimonio de la humanidad.
Nice video! Although I wouldn't say Galicia is "a little rainier" than the rest of Spain. It actually is WAY rainier than the rest of Spain and one of the rainiest places in Europe.

@glaubersvlogs: claro, por eso estamos más preparados y felices para cuando el cambio climático (ya en acción) convierta a casi todo el resto de España en un horno semidesértico, Galicia siga siendo un jardín verde. Ahora mismo nuestros ríos y embalses están llenos, mientras en otras muchas partes de España tienen restricciones de agua, incluso para beber. Un saludo desde Santiago de Compostela, ciudad patrimonio de la humanidad y capital de Galicia.
It took me ages to find this vid I watched a bitbofbit last night but never got to finish it 😅

Glad you found it in the end! Hopefully it was helpful ☺️
GALICIA, una joya en el noroeste de la península ibérica. País del Estado español, con Estatuto de nacionalidad histórica, según figura en la Constitución española; con idioma y cultura propia. Su capital, Santiago de Compostela, es patrimonio de la humanidad. Sí, es una parte de España que se aleja de los clásicos tópicos para extranjeros que los distintos gobiernos de España procuran vender.

Galicia is gorgeous. A true hidden gem for travelers to Spain. But you forgot to visit A Coruna. An amazing city with vibrant culture, history, amazing people and great nightlife.

Galicia never was part kingdom of Portugal. Portugal was part kingdom of Galicia. Galicia is oldest than Portugal.
