Explore some of the most beautiful cities in Galicia: Santiago de Compostela, la Coruña  and Pontevedra.

Galicia, a region located in Spain’s northwest, is comprised of 4 provinces: La Coruña, Lugo, Orense and Pontevedra. It is a verdant region with an Atlantic coastline. The cathedral of regional capital Santiago de Compostela is the reputed burial place of the biblical apostle Saint James the Great, and the destination for those following the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. The western cliffs of Cape Finisterre were considered by the Romans to be the end of the known world.
