Galicia has too many gems to list them all, here are just a few:

Pontevedra the most typical of Galician towns, the old town is a maze of pedestrianised flag stoned streets and squares, lined with sophisticated shops, bars and restaurants. The most beautiful and tourist friendly town in Galicia.

A Coruna high on the rugged northwestern Atlantic coast, is an impressive modern city, however its medieval quarter is still extensive. The port and sea front area is crammed with some of the best seafood restaurants
and bars in Spain.

Santiago de Compostela This cathedral city is one of the most beautiful in Spain, the Cathedral itself is spectacularand the flagstone streets and arcades are enchanting.

Cape Finisterre named by the Romans as they believed it to be most westerly point on earth, true of Europebut not the world of course. Here you have the most fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Rias Baixes Inlets that resemble fjords, here you will find fishing villages and sandy beaches at every turn.The worlds finest mussels are cultivated in the rias.

Pimientos de Padron little green sweet peppers fried in oil and sprinkled with sea salt, but look out,1 in 10 is as hot as a chili, a bit like Russian roulette on a plate.

Albarino and Ribeiro wines perfect with the regions seafood.

Vigo Spain's largest fishing port, many Caribbean cruises begin here.

Baiona a lovely old seaside town on the Portuguese border.
