Travelling alone in Galicia is an invitation to discover a region rich in tradition and breathtaking scenery. As a solo traveler, take the time to explore the rugged rias along the coast, lose yourself in the deep, spiritual forests of the interior, or follow in the footsteps of the pilgrims on the route to Santiago de Compostela. The Galicians, renowned for their hospitality, will guide you and help you discover their traditions, gastronomy and language. Take with you a good tourist guide, a pair of walking shoes and a mind open to enrichment!
Opting for a Galicia tour package means opting for serenity and optimized discovery of a region of raw beauty and strong identity. These turnkey holidays generally offer a balanced itinerary of nature and culture, from the breathtaking cliffs of the Côte de la Mort to the historic streets of Santiago de Compostela. With a local guide, immerse yourself in Galician authenticity, sample typical dishes and listen to Celtic traditions that are still very much alive. What's more, organized tours often offer privileged access to lesser-known but equally fascinating sites and experiences. A free-spirited adventure on Galician soil awaits you!
Galicia, with its varied landscapes, requires a certain flexibility in travel to fully appreciate its beauty. If you land at Santiago de Compostela airport, start by taking the city bus that links the airport to the city center. For intercity travel, the Monbus bus company offers frequent services between Galicia's main cities. Renfe's train stations, located in the major cities, offer connections to other parts of Spain. However, to explore the coasts, isolated lighthouses or small fishing villages, a rental car is essential. For a unique experience, from May to September, take the sea shuttles from Vigo to discover the Cíes Islands. Finally, don't forget cabs, which are available even in rural areas, although they are a more expensive option.
