Attractions in Galicia Spain
Spain is a large country, which is divided into regions. Tourists intending to visit Spain should plan out the major places on their trip and do some research to help them decide the best places to go.
Galicia is one of the regions in Spain, commonly known by the locals as “the land of 1000 rivers” because of the many rivers crossing the region. The rivers come down from the mountains to the coastal area of the region and are quite impressive. This characteristic makes Galicia’s weather very rainy during the winter but not too hot during the summer months.
Galicia has beautiful, smooth beaches and magnificent towns and villages, which do lots of fishing. There are also cliffs that are very dangerous; the area on which they lie is called the coast of death because of the nature of the cliffs. These are, however, very attractive natural sights and worth a visit.
