Galicia is unlike anywhere else in Spain
This autonomous north-west corner of Spain is unlike the rest of the country. It's got its own dialect and distinct Celtic culture, which can be seen in its architecture, people and cuisine. It's best known as the last stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail, which winds its way through Northern Spain to Santiago. But there's so much more to Galicia – a wild 800-mile coastline made up of unexplored coves and secluded bays, ancient medieval castles and row-upon-row of vines producing fine Galician wines best paired with the region's famously good Atlantic seafood.
Hike the Camino de Santiago in Galicia
Topping most people's travel bucket list is a hike along the UNESCO Camino de Santiago trail, an ancient pilgrimage route which snakes across the country and into France. If you don't have the time to walk the entire thing, you can hike along a leg of it to the finishing point in Santiago de Compostela. Along the 800 miles of coves and golden beaches there's a whole host of water sports available, including some of Spain's best surf which rolls in off the Atlantic and calm bays with perfect kite surfing conditions.
You can't leave Galicia without a day in Santiago
Every corner of Galicia is worth exploring, but you can't say you've truly been to this part of Spain without spending a few days in Santiago de Compostela, where you can admire the famous cathedral, the end point of the Camino de Santiago. While you are staying in one of the Galicia vacation rentals in town, try to make some time for the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea if you are interested in art and the UNESCO Old Town, which is often considered one of the most beautiful urban areas in the world.
Galicia is Spain with 4 seasons
Unlike much of Spain, which receives countless hours of sunshine, Galicia's climes are a little more like Northern Europe. You can easily experience all 4 seasons in one day when you're out on the mountainous hiking trails and rainfall is commonplace. Don't let this put you off. The downpours make it one of Spain's greenest places and if you catch the weather right in summer, you can experience beautiful blue skies and bright sunshine. A little earlier in spring, after the thaws of winter, the landscapes of blooming wildflower bursts into color.
6 wildlife-filled parks to explore in Galicia
Galicia's weather might not measure up to the rest of Spain, but the dramatic landscape surely does. When you stay in a Galicia vacation rental, you can expect a wonderful mix of Atlantic forests, steep canyons and glistening lagoons. There are 6 natural parks in this north-west corner of the country, all of which have their own merits. Fragas do Eume is known for its forests and fauna, while the rolling Dunes of Corrubedo Natural Park is like nowhere else you've been in Spain. Alternatively, for soaring limestone peaks, caverns and lush green valleys, try the Serra de Encina de Lastra.
