Galicia, in the green north-east, is increasingly popular with Spanish visitors and still displays its strong Celtic character, with a renowned tradition for music, folklore and food, especially and as to be expected seafood, as well as its own language, Gallego.
Stunning sandy beaches and river-mouths, around which many of the towns and cities have developed, interrupt the craggy coastline. Inland, small picturesque villages dot the brilliantly green countryside where traditional farming methods are still in use. In 1999, Galicia was host to the ‘Xacobea’ festival celebrating the famous ‘Camino de Santiago’ (St. James’ Way) which is still trodden by pilgrims from around the world.
With the sad realisation that many people’s image of Spain has been unfairly influenced by the over-construction and mass tourism of the ‘costas’ on the south and east coast, we are proud to offer some wonderful accommodations in this refreshing, yet often ignored, region of Spain.
