Galicia is located in the top western corner of Spain, above Portugal. It has its own customs, culture, food and language and feels very different from the usual Spanish tourist spots. It is also known for its stunning scenery and nature and is known as being a 'greener' part of Spain. Casa Compostela is secluded and private, surrounded by said nature. Your nearest village and supermarkets are only a short drive away, and you can enjoy the Tambre River, which is about a 10 - minute walk from the property. There are also plenty of activities not far from the house, so if you are a golf or horse riding enthusiast, this is the place for you.

Santiago de Compostela is Galicia's most famous city and is only 15 - 20 minutes by car from your wonderful sanctuary. Overflowing with legends and beauty, over 300,000 Camino pilgrims venture to Santiago de Compostela each year. The massive cathedral dominates the cityscape and is considered one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Europe. The stunning town is full of history, and the city's Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Expect beautiful parks, great museums and fabulous stone architecture. As you meander through winding streets, be sure to sample some local dishes, such as polbo a feira/pulpo a la gallega (octopus), as the city is renowned for its food. Another great way to explore this magnificent city and the Camino de Santiago trail is to hire bikes.

Cabo Finisterre meaning 'the end of the world', is well worth a visit and is where Camino de Santiago pilgrims end their journey. On the Atlantic coast of Galicia, the peninsula is easy to access by car and easy to walk around if the weather is not very windy. The view is spectacular, especially at sunset, so make sure to have your camera ready for some great pictures!

The beaches in and around Galicia are spectacular, and a 'must see' is a trip to the uninhabited Cies Islands, which is an archipelago made up of three small Islands. This unspoilt paradise is ideal for hiking and is home to Praia de Rodas, which was once awarded the title of 'the best beach in the world' by The Guardian.

The Atlantic coast of Galicia's Rias Baixas is also Albarino wine country. You can arrange tours to the wineries from Santiago de Compostela, or you can book tours combined with Michelin - starred restaurants or small tavernas so you can sample the very best of food and wine from this region.
