I'm from Northern Germany and I know several Galicians who came to my hometown area as guest workers in the 70s, when there was still rampant unemployment & rural poverty in Galicia and tourism was virtually nonexistent in this relatively remote part of Spain at the time. These people are indeed a super cool and likeable bunch!

It's realy lovely to see how you enjoy our land and your funny and clever opinions. It's a pity that there was mist when you visited the cliffs, the view is breathtaking. The small house you saw there is the ancient shelter for the watchmen who attend a beacon (like the beacons of Gondor in Lord of the Rings) that was part of a system of beacons all along the north coast of Galicia (to warn of sea attacks). At least you saw this shelter; next time, the views... ;) Thank you for this wonderful video about my land, and waiting for the upcoming...

Galicia is a hidden gem! So beautiful!

Hi from Baixo Miño! Great video! I see you travel with your dogs! If you ever plan to visit Vigo, I recommend you to extend your visit to Porto as well. There're beautiful places between those two cities, and also a wonderful spot between Galicia and Portugal, the natural park Peneda-Gerês(Portugal)-Serra do Xurés (Galicia). It's beautiful, really close to Vigo or Porto, and perfect for a hike with the dogs. Also, the Galician side is Ourense, so if you go back to galicia through this mountains, you'll end up driving towards the hot springs area. My husband and I did it couple of times with our dog. From vigo to porto there's Nigran (gorgeous drive by the coast), Baiona (medival village, where Columbus arrived from America), Oia (monastery on the beach), a guarda (santa trega mountain with the Celtic Village and the views), o rosal (amazing wineries and mills in the river), tomiño (riverside walks, castles and bridge to Portugal), Tui (medieval village with a twin in the Portuguese side of river miño, also a bridge to Portugal), and then beautiful villages towards Portugal, like Vilanova de Cerveira, Caminha, viana do Castelo, Vila do Conde, Ponte de Lima, Barcelos, Braga. You can have breakfast in one, lunch in the next, etc, and get to porto beautifully. I apologise for such a long comment, but you can tell I'm in love with my little corner of Spain. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Galicia; we'll love to have you back.

I'm from Scotland and visit Galicia often. The Brits head to the south of Spain and that makes it perfect. For me, it is the most perfect place on earth. I love it.

3:43 A taberna do Cunqueiro, in Calle Estrella, A Coruña. Absolutely good food in there, and good street to hang out with friends.

You passed very close to my country, about 40 km. You could have made a detour and have visited Vila Nova de Cerveira, it's not so bad! "Parabéns" por este viaje, vecina! 🙂

Hi from Tomiño! Vilanova is a must when visiting the south of Pontevedra. Even though is Portugal, it feels like home to me. Hopefully, the next time, she'll spend sometime around here and enjoy the riversides.

Galiza and the North of Portugal, especially the Minho region are essentially two parts of the same whole.

10:52 O Cañón do Río Sil is my favourite place in the whole world 😍 So I highly recommend you to go to another viewer called "Los Balcones de Madrid" near a town called Parada Do Sil. This little town is well provided for tourism: it has beautiful routes to walk between nature (I always feel like walking into a fairy tale), there are some museums to visit, there is the viewer (which is well secured and prepared for tourism) and, as always, there is good food 😋

I didn't know you could do walks from there? Now I feel ripped off because it was the view point I originally picked but because of the weather we only did three instead of four including it! Will definitely go back! Thanks for the tip x

The next time you should visit Vigo , is so beautiful and you can see a lot of things like the Islas Cies , i think that you would like it💕

This is going to sound very cliche. But I recently found out I have Galician heritage. Every time I see pictures of the landscape and even the old Celtic ruins I feel like something is calling me home. Still I want to visit it for the history and obviously the food.

Just kidding, I really enjoyed your video, it was very entertaining, so I hope you come back here sometime again. Just noticing a lot of people in the comments saying that you should go to Santiago... I'll never understand what some people see in Santiago. There isn't any point in visiting it other than religious or cultural-historiographical reasons and it's always crowded by tourists and students since it's not that big -beautiful small city vibes tho. It may be because I grew up in the rural Galiza, but I'd strongly recommend a visit to small villages and natural places rather than cities. Unha aperta!

*FINISTERRAE,* that is the name the romans knew this cape with. For centuries, it was the end of the known world (they didn't know anything about America, obviously), that's why they named it like this: *FINIS TERRAE,* in latin, means _the end of the world_ ( _fin de la tierra_ in modern Spanish). For them, It was the westernmost point of land in Europe, and its views and landscapes are worth a visit nowadays.

Seeing as you really liked Galicia, then the next time that you are around here, you should visit the Playa de Carnota, The town of Muros and also the town of Noya( in Gallego Noia), these three places aren't very far away from each other and they are all on the west coast. I am absolutely certain that you will absolutely love them. These places also belong to what is known as As rias baixas or en castelian Rias Baja's(the lower coast).

How you found these places? Cumbres borrascosas

Galicia has really a lot of beautiful natural places and very very good food, specially the seafood in the coast. I from Cedeira, a very beautiful town right down that cliff in "Serra da Capelada" (yeah it's the highest one in mainland Europe) and I'm really sad you couldn't see anything up there because the views are just amazing. Besides there are a really small place (like 50people live there) called San Andrés de Teixido, its a place of peregrination, I think the second most visited in Europe or Spain, and its beautiful too with a lot of legends and miths around it. And if you want the whole pack, near there, but with a risky way, down the cliffs its the only beach in the world made of black sand that's not volcanic formation(?) (de origen no volcánico). Obviously you have to visit my town too, Cedeira, its really beautiful with beautiful beaches and sigths all over the town, good food, best "percebes" and nice people. I hope you come back someday and don't miss Santiago again in your travel, no excuses for not visiting

i remember i wrote here few weeks ago when you made a video about the north of Spain. I have seen that you have felt the difference between this two sides, north and south, it is completely different, north is more autenthic than the south, you realized that you can't find "flamenco shows" and "paella is not the first choice and even more, you can't find it" but you have discovered that the interior has is own appeal, and a really big one, is not fake like a tourist show for foreign people...this is real. I know that more people love sun, fiesta, alcohol and beach...you have the east and the south for it, but if you are looking for the real thing...you must go to the north and you will discover a a really new and diferent countrycountry. I glad to know that you enjoyed it.

@@ElyceBehrsin if you ever do get the chance to go back there (the name of the town is Cangas ^^) be sure to visit praia de Lagoelas (Lagoelas beach). It's a really cool secret beach no one knows about and, besides, it's dogfriendly. It's kind of hard to get there because you need to walk for, like, 15 to 20 minutes (there's no car access and, in fact, it is soooo hidden that not many people even in Cangas know about it), but it's totally worth it. Just google it and you'll know what I mean. And while you're there, check out a restaurant called Peralta, nearby. You won't regret it, trust me. And once you're done eating, there's this really cool castle in ruins called Castillo del conde de Aldán that you can go to just walking five minutes from that very restaurant. Also, I don't know how familiar you became with cruceiros while in Galicia, but, if you are into cruceiros at all, Cruceiro de Hío is the one you want to see, it's the most famous one in Galicia. Perhaps you did see it on your trip already, because it's reeeeally close to the only way there is to the lighthouse you liked ;) Again, love your videos!! XOXO
