This town can be found right after passing O Grove on the open sea. It is a very attractive town and it contains mostly small hotels and restaurants. You can find these places close to beaches. The town has a market feel to it and the beaches have a kind of coarse yellow sand. You will love the views that you will get from here looking out to the estuary and across to Vilagarcia.

To the southern end of the town you will find the port and a small semi-medieval area where you will find peasants that attend to some little plazas and bars. There are two churches in this district though each is very small. This is the place that the writer Galicia calls his home. As such it gets a fare share of tourists each year and so has a tourist office. You will find items commemorating the author here.

If you will be driving down the coast past Vilagarcia you will be sure to see some beautiful sights. You will see old world charm in the landscape and building such as the stone houses in old district. Beautiful fields are at your behest as you travel on this route.

If you are hungry you can stop by one of the bars in the old district where you can get something to eat and drink. You will find mostly tapas at these little bars and you can get good value for your money these eating spots. You’ll get the best tapa here than in any other part of the world and you can say you found it in Galicia.

Galicia is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Spain. Bordering on Portugal to the south, it has become one of the more popular locations for people looking to steer clear of the tourist-heavy locations such as Madrid and Barcelona. With a mixture of both local cuisine and the traditional food you would associate with Spanish dining, there is truly something for everybody to enjoy – including couples, families, and even people looking to get a way on their own for a while.

There is a long and interesting history associated with Galicia, albeit it a bit of a violent one, but it makes the place have a certain ‘feel’ that makes it so special and respected. There is a fantastic coastline with absolutely stunning beaches across the coast front, with many bars and restaurants where you can sit back and admire some of the beautiful views while you unwind and recharge your batteries.

Along with the typical things to do associated with holidaying, there is also mountains and protected national parks that add to the beauty of the landscape, making it a great place to take a walk and enjoy some time together with your partner or family.

Summer is fast approaching, and Galicia is an area of Spain that you should definitely be looking at in Europe. Good food, great views, and an all round fantastic family holidaying location.
