Mist rolls in from the sea, the weather is rainy and the land green, the bagpipes are the national instrument and people believe in witches, fairies and the Santo Compaņa, a procession of souls in torment led by an unfortunate mortal which is the harbinger of death.
Eating and drinking in Galicia. Ask a Spaniard if there is a good reason to visit Galicia and nine times out of ten he will mention its gastronomy. Almost all the Spaniards (and Portuguese) who visit the region in ever increasing numbers do so mainly because of its tremendous food and drink. Seafood is the star.
Rustic architecture in Galicia. This is interesting precisely because Galicia is quite different from the rest of Spain, even more so than the Basque Country. The use of granite and slate means British visitors often find themselves reminded of the Lake District. Pazos are Galician manor houses or palaces. Pallozas are pre-Roman, i.e, Celtic round houses with thatched roofs nearly reaching the ground; they were inhabited until the sixties.
