Why choose Galicia?

Galicia is not just a tourist destination: it is a place to stay. Nature, gastronomy, heritage, quality of life and affordable prices are just some of the reasons why more and more people from around the world are choosing this region to live or do business.

1. A landscape unlike any other. Forests, rivers, mountains and over 1,700 km of coastline with stunning beaches. Galicia is a region of extraordinary landscape diversity, with protected natural spaces and some of the best-preserved rural environments in Europe.
2. Quality of life at a reasonable price. The cost of living in Galicia, and particularly in the Galician countryside, is notably lower than in other regions of Europe. This makes Galicia an ideal option both for those looking for a home and for those who want to start a business in a rural setting.
3. A unique historical and cultural heritage. Galicia is a region with an identity of its own, forged over centuries. Its geographical position, its connection to the Camino de Santiago, its language and its ancient history have given rise to an extraordinarily rich and distinctive heritage, visible in every village, every church, every pazo, every hórreo.
4. A mild climate all year round. The rainfall that makes Galicia a green land also ensures moderate temperatures in every season. In an increasingly hot world, summers here are milder than in the rest of Spain: an Atlantic climate that invites you to live outdoors and enjoy every time of year.
5. A world-renowned gastronomy. Seafood, octopus, denomination of origin wines, cheeses, meats… Galician cuisine is one of the most celebrated in Spain and enjoys an international reputation that has only grown in recent years.
6. An open and welcoming community. Galicia welcomes thousands of pilgrims, tourists and new residents from around the world every year. The region has a long tradition of emigration and return that makes it particularly open to those who arrive from elsewhere, whatever their background.
