We cover the whole of mainland Spain, the Balearics and the Canaries rugged coastlines stretching for miles along the Atlantic Ocean. You could be forgiven for thinking we are talking of Scotland or Ireland. But we are actually talking of the furthest north west region of Spain, Galicia. bay. Out to sea you can see the small, unspoilt, Cies islands, which offer lovers of nature a number of relaxing walks. For the less energetic a hop on hop off tourist bus provides a more leisurely way to get round the city of Vigo. The charismatic old district of Vigo Casco Vello, which gives the distinct impression of having evolved rather than being planned, is an eating heaven for lovers of seafood.

A mystical land with a culture more associated with Celts, witches, fairies, bagpipes and kilts rather than with flamenco and guitars. There is even the suggestion that some of the ancient inhabitants of Galicia walked across the frozen ice age seas to the island of Ireland. Whatever the truth of this story, the character of Galicia and its people is definitely different. As we approach Galicia, the flat dry plains of central Spain give way to miles of green forests, sparkling rivers which rush down steep mountains and pour into deep shimmering lakes.

Sturdy stone-built mansions known as pazos replace the traditional white "casas". Barns built on stilts and called 'horreos' are used to store crops away from rodents and weather. Platforms called bateas which are used for shell fishing can be seen in the sea and on the rivers. The sophisticated city of Vigo hosts a range of top name high street stores. Located on the coast, it is not only an active port but also supports a large Tuna fishing industry.

Vigo is well positioned for sightseeing in the region with a diverse selection of towns easily accessible. Towns such as the well preserved Pontre Pontevedra with its tree lined streets and gothic Basilica, A Coruña where Francis Drake sought to follow up on his successes against the Spanish Armada, only to be humiliated by the brave actions of one of the City's women, Maria Pita. Then there is Santiago de Compostela, rated third amongst Christian cities of pilgrimage behind giants like Jerusalem and Rome.

Every day throughout the year pilgrims can be seen arriving in the city from one of the pilgrimage routes which lead to the cathedral, which is allegedly the burial place of James the apostle. In the Galician countryside are miles of Alberiño grapevines, which are used to make the delicious Galician wine of the same name.

Many religious buildings are to be found in the small towns of the region. One such building is the Monasterio de San Juan (in Galician "Xoan)" in the tiny municipality Poio. Here you will find the world's biggest Horreo. (remember the barns on stilts). At the picturesque village of combarro, a quaint assortment of old Horreos lead us to a village that seems to have been carved out of the seafront. Further down the coast huge fingers of water created by the Atlantic invade the land creating Riaxes. A sort of elongated sea loch (lake) Here is found Spain's largest shell fishing industry.

A boat ride takes you out to see at first hand how the shellfish are harvested. On the return journey enjoying some really fresh shellfish washed down with delicious Galician wine. You will even have time to visit the little island of Toja. Now connected to the mainland with a bridge. If you are very lucky you may even see some of the famous Galician wild horses which, once a year are gathered in "cowboy style” to be branded. Next visit an ancient Celtic settlement reconstructed on the Banks of the river Miño overlooking Portugal. Drive across to a fortified Portuguese market town, visit a lovely fortified seaside town in Galician where you can go on a replica of the "Pinta". The first of Columbia's ships to break the news about America.

It is hard to believe it, but you will go to and see all of these places on a 8 day David's Coachtrips excursion to Galicia as well as having an overnight stay in two of Spain's most iconic cities. Segovia and Salamanca.
