travel, hotel and booking Information

Visiting Galicia can be enjoyable, exciting and educational. This part of Spain has a wealth of historic buildings ranging from Celtic forts and Roman ruins, to Gothic and Neo-classical architectural masterpieces and few, other than the Spanish, will have seen them.

Hotel Booking With a population of only three million inhabitants, Galicia has plenty of open spaces and a drive into the region's interior serves up some breath taking scenery. Forests, meadow land, rolling hills and mountains, all populated with small villages, are on the menu. The region also has a long seafaring history and although other enterprises now prosper in Galicia, the fishing industry is a large employer and economic contributor.

I also post the occasional article about Galicia on ezines and article sites as well as writing for some other large Spanish web sites.

Cheap Hotel Part of Galicia's appeal to the tourist is the attraction of visiting somewhere slightly off the beaten track. It is certainly true to say that Santiago de Compostela now has steady cosmopolitan tourist traffic, but most of Galicia's other cities do not and an English voice is still uncommon. Provincial capitols like Lugo, Pontevedra, Ourense and the massive A Coruna, have little in the way of foreign tourism and although foreign visitor numbers are on the increase, they are still small. This should not detour the tourist though, as all of these cities have great visitor appeal and their inhabitants are generally friendly and helpful.

Flight Booking Getting to Galicia has become cheaper and easier over the last couple of years with major carriers flying direct to Santiago's international airport. Prices have also come down, particularly for those departing from the UK via Heathrow and Stanstead airports. Flying from the USA is still comparatively costly, but as visitor numbers increase costs will inevitably come down.

Traveling in Galicia will dispel any myths that Spain is a land of parched greenery and perpetually hot sunny weather. The landscape is a lush green, the trees are often of pine and Eucalyptus and grassy meadows are everywhere. So too are fields of sweet corn which are a popular crop in this part of Spain. Galicia relies largely on an agricultural and fishing based economy.

Travel Agent The time of year at which you visit Galicia is definitely something to consider. The region has a long summer that results in warm temperatures starting in April and running through to September and October. That said, the best weather is normally in June, July and August, although in Galicia clear blue skies can never be guaranteed. Winter visits will require the addition of warm clothing, rain-proof jackets and an umbrella.

Hotel Chicago Car rental is pretty much essential for the Galician holiday maker. Galicia is a place to be explored and the best way to do this is independently with your own transport. If this is not an option, the other alternative is to book an organized coach tour. If you decide to select this type of holiday, make sure you know exactly what is on your schedule. Santiago de Compostela is a "must see" stop, but some of Galicia's smaller towns will also proved well worth a visit and all of the provincial capitols, plus Vigo, have something to offer the holiday maker.
