The Fascination of Galicia: Legends, Landscapes and Traditions

Galicia is always worth a visit. Once considered the end of the world, this fascinating region in the far northwest of Spain is a land of legends and traditions. One legend suggests that the discovery of the tomb of Saint James led to the founding of the capital, Santiago de Compostela. To this day, it remains the revered destination for pilgrims on the famous Way of St. James, a center of faith and commerce, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Galician is the mother tongue of the inhabitants here, reflecting the region's deep historical roots.

The fauna and flora are also unique. Along Galicia's coasts, the Atlantic waves crash unrestrained against the cliffs of the rugged landscape with its secluded bays. Inland, however, a picturesque, densely forested landscape with gentle hills and green river valleys awaits. The "Rias Baixas," the wide estuaries of the rivers with their lush vegetation and diverse wildlife, are also stunningly beautiful.

The abundance of water and fertile soils have always made Galicia ideal for agriculture. Fishing villages, vineyards—especially known for Albariño, a noble Galician white wine—and estates shaped the landscape and established the prosperity of its inhabitants.

Of course, the architecture is also part of the history. Showpieces of Galician architecture are the Pazos and Casonas. Traditionally built from granite, these solid, stately country houses have endured the centuries and can still be found today, especially in the north of the country.
