Holidays in Galicia: Enjoy Nature and Culture with TourGalicia
When holidays come around, we all want to travel somewhere charming, where we feel full of wonder and adventure and can disconnect from the daily routine. That's why holidays in Galicia are a great idea — a region of Spain with room for natural wonders and an exquisite culture.
What to do on your Galician holiday
Galicia is a privileged part of Spain, with hundreds of tourist attractions for all tastes. On your trip you can enjoy adventure activities, quiet walks, gastronomic experiences, contact with nature and a dive into local history.
In the following lines we mention some very popular destinations and others that, although less known, are no less impressive. There are more treasures here than you think, so it's worth turning to a good travel agency for advice.
Visit Ourense, a small town of tradition
Ourense looks like a magazine cover, where the green mountains contrast with the light-blue sky and white houses brighten the view. But there's much to discover among those houses.
First, the majestic cathedral and a stroll through the old quarter, where you can spot remains of earlier populations. To unwind, walk along the Miño river or pose for photos at the Roman Bridge, then relax with wine and tapas.
Pontevedra, a medieval city
The lovely city of Pontevedra is one of the smallest, so on your Galician holiday it can take up a couple of days. Although its medieval look and busy square may invite you to stay longer.
The route is meant for those who simply want to spend a calm time and create good memories. So get your camera ready for the old quarter, the Ferrería, Leña and Santa María squares.
If you're drawn to old bridges, don't miss the walk along the lovely Lérez river and the labyrinth of stalls at the market. Good food and drink are a must — choose between craft beer and imported products.
A Coruña, the magical, mythological city
For lovers of history and mythology, holidays in Galicia turn into a dream come true at the Tower of Hercules. The view is breathtaking and transports you to a magical world.
Walk down the Port Avenue and watch the buildings with their glass galleries facing the sea. To end the day, rest at the Picasso Museum or the Opera Palace.
The route of Santiago de Compostela
The famous religious route ends in Galicia's capital, where the famous cathedral is reached by pilgrims from all over the world. Though spiritual, the city has a cheerful air.
The Market awaits with its many fascinating shops; plus there are the Belvís and Bonaval parks, which look like a portrait of paradise. Visit the Galician People's Museum with its spiral staircase and stroll the old town.
On these holidays you may not start the Camino or become a pilgrim, but you can get close to the experience. Many people who meet pilgrims are so moved that they later begin their own journey.
