Ten Different Plans to Do in Galicia

Galicia is, ultimately, a unique territory where you can enjoy the amazing traditions of its local culture. During autumn it's one of the best destinations to be wrapped up by its magical lands. Here we'll go through the best different plans to do in Galicia during your stay.

The best different plans to do in Galicia

Galicia is authentic and would take a couple of weeks to tour entirely. Organising a trip here means setting a defined itinerary so you can enjoy everything during your stay.

Here are the best different plans to do in Galicia:

1. Walk the Lighthouses Route

If you're a hiker, the Lighthouses Route is a must — over 200 km from Malpica to Finisterre, stopping at each lighthouse. Fun but physically demanding — prepare beforehand, or take a shorter section.

2. Visit the Chavasqueira thermal area

One of the must-do plans is the unforgettable thermal waters. Chavasqueira is a thermal circuit running on zen philosophy.

3. Stay at Carris Casa de la Troya hotel

It was Doña Generosa's house — widowed, she turned it into student lodging. Over the years it became a hotel. It inspired Alejandro Pérez Lugín's novel "La casa de la Troya".

4. Walk the Rías Baixas Wine Route

A series of stops at wineries to taste the best flavours Galicia exports.

5. Spend a night near Estaca de Bares lighthouse

Hotel Semáforo de Bares — a 19th-century military building. Just 6 rooms, very private. Views of the lighthouse and cape.

6. Walk the shellfish route

Seafood is a hallmark of Galicia. The shellfish route starts with the descent to the beach to see the process up close.

7. Eat in A Coruña

Restaurants offer tasting menus and high-cuisine flavours focused on regional dishes.

8. Go for a picnic

Beautiful spots for a picnic — forest, beach or mountain.

9. Tour the museums of Galicia

For history lovers — the Science and Technology Museum and Domus Museum stand out.

10. Visit a virtual reality centre

If you have young kids, a VR centre is an innovative, fun plan.
