A PERSONAL JOURNEY IN GALICIA
BeautifulGalicia
Living, exploring and discovering Galicia through real experience
Who we are
BeautifulGalicia.com
We moved to Galicia in search of a slower life, closer to nature and the coast. What we found was a region of wild landscapes, quiet villages, and strong traditions. This site shares our experiences of living here, exploring the region, and navigating the realities of settling in Galicia. Galicia seen from the inside — not as tourists, but as residents.

Why We Created BeautifulGalicia.com
When we moved to Galicia, we quickly realised that many of the most beautiful places, traditions, and everyday experiences were missing from traditional travel guides. Most websites focus on the well-known attractions, but very few capture what it is actually like to live here, explore beyond the tourist routes, and become part of the local rhythm of life.
We created Beautiful Galicia to document our own journey and share what we discover along the way. From hidden coastal paths and mountain villages to local culture, food, and practical aspects of daily life, this site is a collection of experiences, observations, and lessons learned while building a new life in northwest Spain.
Beautiful Galicia is part travel guide, part personal journal, and part resource for anyone who wants to understand the region beyond the postcards. Whether you are planning a holiday, considering a move, or simply curious about this remarkable corner of Spain, our goal is to provide honest insights, useful information, and inspiration based on real experience.
We are still learning every day, and that is exactly what makes this journey so rewarding. Through this website, we invite you to discover Galicia with us not as tourists passing through, but as residents exploring, learning, and appreciating this extraordinary region one day at a time.
