| | Galicia Spain Information |
 | | Galicia: In the north-west corner of Spain, embraced by a sea carving out its coastline with fjord-like rias (estuaries), creating beaches and islands, surrounded by mountains that have isolated it throughout history we find this lush green emerald land, Galicia. |
 | | The symbols of Galicia include the cruceiro- an elaborately carved stone cross on a tall column, and the horreo — sheds made of stone or wood with narrow slits, raised on stilts, for storing grain. |
 | | With a surface area of 30,000 square kilometres, undulating relief and wide valleys, Galicia is the oldest land on the Iberian Peninsula. |
