In ancient times this Celtic region was considered the finis terrae, the end of the known world. Since centuries, Galicia has been Europe’s major place of pilgrimage since the discovery of the tomb of the apostle Saint James. 
Concealed in the northwest of Spain, this land of lush foliage is often damp and rainy. Far from the usual sun and sand, the beauty and enchant of this land is undeniable. Galicia’s many rivers meet the sea in estuaries called rías: the weather-battered northerly Rías Altas, and the gentler Rías Bajas to the west, one the most renowned DDOO. for white high-quality wines.
Galician cooking is based on the simplicity with which they prepare their materials. Galicia is a shellfish paradise. Following the Galician tradition, octopus and seafood, empanada and liqueurs are gourmet foods present in the daily gastronomy.
As green as Ireland, the landscape in many areas of Galicia is, however, one vast expanse of vineyards which stretch down the terraces hillsides to the rivers and its tributaries below. Native grape varieties such as albariño, treixadura, loureiro or godello on the point of extinction years ago have been reinstated in the last decades producing impressive and distinctive wines in DDOO such as Rias Baixas, Valdeorras, Ribeira Sacra or Ribeiro.
