The wild northern coast, with its rocky and almost barren mountains, contrasts greatly with the much gentler coastline south of the city of La Coruña. The region has numerous harbors and fishing villages, and is a very attractive place to explore at leisure by car. The interior is a mix of fairly low mountains that give way to rounded hills of pine forests and farmland.

History and culture
Galicia has its own culture and a rich tradition of folklore. The region also has its own language, known as Galician.
The region was settled by one of the earliest tribes of Celtic heritage in Europe and Galicians consider themselves to have a Celtic identity and background, rather than the predominantly "Latin" or "Hispanic" culture that identifies most of the Iberian Peninsula. That said, Galicians have no separatist intentions. In fact, they see themselves as very Spanish.
