Geographically, the most important feature of Galicia is the presence of many fiordlike indentations on the western and northern coast, estuaries that were drowned with rising sea levels after the ice age These are called rias and are divided into the Rias Altas and the Rias Baixas.
While the western coast, with its major population centers, and its fishing and manufacturing industries is prosperous and increasing in population, the rural hinterland— the provinces of Ourense and Lugo— suffer from the defects of an aging, unskilled population, poor soils, and tiny inviable landholdings called minifundios.
