Camping Galicia

Galicia is a lush green, mountainous area in northwest Spain with breathtaking shores, lovely beaches, world heritage sites, and rich, distinct history. Its tourist attractions are many and draw people from all over the world.

Galicia is a region located in the extreme northwest of Spain.

The territory currently known as Galicia was initially inhabited by humans during the Middle Paleolithic era, and it was named after the Gallaeci, a Celtic people that lived north of the Douro River during the last century B.C. Galicia was annexed to the Roman Empire after the end of the Cantabrian Wars in 19 BC and became a Roman province in the third century AD.

Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is a gem, especially for people who appreciate culture and architecture. It is a well-known tourist site, not just for domestic but also for foreign visitors. We must not overlook the town's religious significance since it is the site of a pilgrimage dating back to the Middle Ages.

A Coruña

Many people associate A Coruña with limitless beaches, an attractive promenade, wide streets, and trendiness. There, we will be able to see the Tower of Hercules, the oldest Roman lighthouse still in operation. Maria Pita Square, Riazor Beach. For all of these reasons, A Coruña is one of Galicia's most popular tourist spots. The city has a lot to offer its visitors, such as the beach, museums, shopping, restaurants, and the aquarium, among other things. You will not be bored throughout your stay in this vibrant city!

1. San Andrés De Teixido

The monastery of San Andrés de Teixido is located in this little settlement near the county of Cedeira. The purported relics of San Andrés, one of the twelve apostles, are buried here. San Andrés, according to legend, awoke one morning depressed because no pilgrims were visiting his temple. God then granted Jesus the authority to prohibit anybody from entering the Kingdom of Heaven without first visiting the temple.

2. Punta Do Fuciño Do Porco

This little walk with views of the Cantabrian Sea and the Galician coast is popular with hikers and environmental enthusiasts. It is a 5-kilometre beachfront path with wooden pathways.

Its name translates as "pig's snout." Sailors who viewed it from the sea and saw a likeness to a pig's nose called it. Views of the cliffs and the lonely beach of Pereira to the left are also available along this walk. This location is identical to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe in the Basque Country, which is one of the locations for the popular television series Game of Thrones.

3. Torre de Hercules

The Tower of Hercules rises high on a peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, overlooking the ocean. The lighthouse is a beacon and landmark in A Corua's bay in northwest Galicia, and its Roman heritage qualifies it as a World Heritage site and a must-see for tourists.

4. Muralla Romana de Lugo

The Walls of Lugo are an important World Heritage Site that must be seen as an example of Galicia's profound Roman heritage. The walls, which encircled the town and were completed in the third century, were created as a defence for the Roman city of Lucus.

5. Catedral de Ourense

The Catedral de Ourense, with its Gothic construction and rich history, is a must-see if you are visiting Ourense, Galicia. This basilica, an important structure and maybe a flashback to the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela have its distinct tale, especially in light of the imitative Door of Paradise.

1. Go to Fragas Do Eume

Fragas do Eume is a lush Atlantic woodland on the banks of the Eume River. This natural wood is one of the greatest examples of a temperate rainforest, with a very wide variety of trees, the star of which is the oak.

2. Hike the Way of Saint James

The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of Saint James, is a network of pilgrimage routes that lead to the shrine of the apostle Saint James in Santiago de Compostela. It has grown in popularity in recent decades for both religious and non-religious reasons.

3. Go to the End of the World

Finisterre was thought by the Romans to be the westernmost point of Continental Europe, and hence the end of the world.

Although we now know that the westernmost point is Cabo da Roca in Portugal, Cape Finisterre continues to draw visitors who want to watch the spectacular sunset over the unending Atlantic Ocean.

4. Walk on the Walls of Lugo

Lugo's primary feature is its Roman-era fortifications. The walls were constructed in the 3rd century to safeguard the Roman city. Surprisingly, the full circle of the walls has remained to this day, and it is regarded as the best example of Roman defences.

5. Take a day trip to San Simon Island

This is an excellent site to spend a relaxed day while learning about Galicia's history. The original inhabitants of these islands were Templar monks, and San Simon was used as a prison island under the Franco administration last century.

Galicia's delicious gastronomy is one of its strong points, with a variety of typical products and dishes such as shellfish (Dublin Bay prawns, king prawns, mussels, scallops, lobsters, crabs), veal, octopus "a feira" (with potatoes), gammon with turnip greens, or the almond tart known as "tarta de Santiago."

Northern Spain is well-known for its traditional food markets, particularly in Santiago de Compostela, the regional capital of Galicia. The several markets in and around town provide a diverse selection of traditional items to try or take home with you.

Most of the campsites in Galicia are in nature, and the majority of them have swimming pools. You have the option of renting a modern camping trailer or pitching a tent. 

RV pitches are typically located in shaded park areas on the campsite or along with nature. They may also include sunny spots; however, all pitches include the necessary amenities, such as water and wastewater connections, as well as an electricity supply.

Galicia holiday parks are top-rated campsites with pools, children's clubs, activities, and entertainment for all ages. It is an excellent choice for a family vacation. Not to mention modern and well-equipped rentals and a variety of pitches. On-site mini-markets and restaurants/bars are also available to guests.
