Galicia is located in the northwest of Spain and impresses with its diversity of landscapes and cultural treasures. This region, which is shaped by the Atlantic Ocean, offers unspoiled nature, historic towns and a deep connection with traditions. Galicia is a rewarding destination for hiking enthusiasts, as it combines nature experiences with cultural highlights.

The landscape of Galicia

Typical of Galicia are the green hills, dense forests and the mild, often rainy climate that gives the region its characteristic freshness. The coast is wild and varied, with secluded beaches, steep cliffs and traditional fishing villages. Inland you will find a rural idyll, characterized by small villages, fields and the famous hórreos, the traditional granaries.

Hiking in Galicia

Galicia offers numerous opportunities for hiking, from coastal paths along the so-called rías (fjord-like estuaries) to routes through the rolling hills and forests of the interior. Galicia is particularly important for pilgrims, as several pilgrimage routes converge here and end in Santiago de Compostela.

Santiago de Compostela

The capital of Galicia is a cultural and spiritual center. With its impressive cathedral, winding old town streets and lively atmosphere, Santiago attracts pilgrims and travelers from all over the world. The city is the destination of many pilgrimage routes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cuisine and traditions

Galicia is known for its regional cuisine. Seafood plays a central role, especially pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus) and fresh oysters. A glass of the famous Albariño wine is the perfect accompaniment. Traditions such as the use of the Galician language (Galego) or festivals such as the Queimada ritual drink show the special identity of this region.

Experience Galicia

Galicia is a place that combines tranquillity, nature and culture. Whether on a hike along the coast, a visit to the historic towns or an evening in a small village – the region invites you to discover it.
