Frequently asked questions
About Galicia
Galicia is located in the northwest region of Spain, known for its lush green landscapes, stunning coastline, and rich cultural heritage. The currency used in Galicia is the Euro. The region is famous for its delicious seafood, particularly octopus and shellfish, as well as its crisp white wines, such as Albariño. Galicia is also home to Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.
When to visit
The best time to visit Galicia is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is warm and sunny, perfect for exploring the beaches and coastal towns. However, spring and fall are also great times to visit as the weather is mild and there are fewer tourists. Winter can be rainy and cold, but it is a good time to experience the local festivals and cuisine.
Getting around
Getting around Galicia is easy with a well-connected network of buses and trains that link the major cities and towns. Renting a car is also a popular option for exploring the region at your own pace. Taxis and ridesharing services are available in urban areas, and cycling is a great way to explore the countryside.
Traveller tips
Be sure to try the local specialty, pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus), and sample the region's famous Albariño wine. Pack layers as the weather in Galicia can be unpredictable, especially near the coast. Learn a few basic phrases in Spanish or Galician to communicate with the locals. Take advantage of the siesta time in the afternoon when many shops and attractions may be closed. Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites.
