es, it rains in Galicia, I won’t lie to you. But… what if I told you that 2024 was the second sunniest year of the century in the region? We love the magic of the rain, because it nourishes our green landscapes and brings life to rivers, waterfalls, and forests that seem straight out of a fairy tale.

I’m serious—if you think it rains non-stop here from October to May, you’re wrong! So, if you have a few days off, I truly believe visiting Galicia in winter is a great option. And I’m not going to give you just one reason, I have at least 10 different reasons to convince you.

Shall we go through them all together?

Galicia in winter offers landscapes that seem straight out of a fairy tale. The autumn and winter rains nourish the land, creating unique natural settings you won’t find anywhere else. Our forests fill with mist in the morning, deserted beaches become perfect retreats for peaceful walks, and rivers and waterfalls reach their peak strength, showcasing the breathtaking power of nature.

Discover these magical landscapes:

• Fragas do Eume (A Coruña): This ancient forest, one of the best-preserved in Europe, is truly a spectacle in winter. Its leaf-covered trails and the Eume River winding through the lush vegetation will transport you to another world. You won’t believe the amazing photos you’ll take here!

• Fervenza do Toxa (Pontevedra): One of the tallest and most spectacular waterfalls in Galicia, showcasing its full power in winter. Don’t forget your raincoat if you want to get close to the base of the waterfall! Plus, just a short distance from Fervenza do Toxa, you can also visit the Monastery of Carboeiro. It’s a 6 km route that you can walk through scenic trails, or take the shorter route by car. Don’t miss it—it’s sure to amaze you!

• Costa da Morte: Its wild beaches and the roar of the Atlantic at this time of year are truly a sight to behold. The cliffs of northern Galicia face the fierce Atlantic waves more than ever during this season. There are many viewpoints where you can safely admire this breathtaking spectacle. Walk along the deserted beaches on calm winter days and enjoy the magic of the lighthouses. Did you know you can follow a route visiting them all, and even stay overnight in one? Keep reading, I’ll tell you more in just a moment…

If you’re a nature lover seeking it in its purest form, winter in Galicia offers endless opportunities to connect with its essence.

Did you know that Galicia is known as the “Land of Camellias“? These elegant flowers, originally from Asia, found the perfect climate to bloom in our region, especially between January and March. Their delicate beauty contrasts with the Galician winter, filling manor houses, historic gardens, and streets with vibrant colors.

You only need to look around a little to realize that camellia trees are everywhere in Galicia, but in certain places, you’ll find yourself completely surrounded by them. In a single garden, you can see more than 300 trees, bursting with blossoms, creating a truly unparalleled spectacle. Here are just a couple of suggestions:

• The Camellia Route: A unique experience that takes you through some of the most spectacular gardens in Galicia.You’ve probably heard about the famous Galician Pazos, right? Well, this route offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore some of them at the best possible time—when their historic gardens are filled with blooming camellias. I’ll be writing another post about this route soon, but to give you a sneak peek, you can fall in love with places like Pazo de Rubiáns, Pazo de Oca, or Pazo de Mariñán, to name a few. Honestly, I wouldn’t know which one to choose—they all have that special “je ne sais quoi” that makes them unique and extraordinary. Check out all the options and decide for yourself!

• Soutomaior Castle: This garden, recognized as an International Garden of Excellence, is home to more than 300 camellia specimens, many of them centuries old. Among them stands out the Camellia Japonica “Alba Plena,” Coco Chanel’s favorite, which is not so easy to find. The historic garden of Soutomaior Castle is a hidden gem, rarely visited, and winter is the perfect time to discover it.

Camellias are not only beautiful, but also useful. Did you know that tea comes from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis? That’s right—anything that doesn’t come from this plant is considered an infusion, not tea.

Additionally, camellia oil is a key ingredient in cosmetics due to its antioxidant properties and its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. And, of course, you can get both of these products during your visit to Galicia!

I recommend:

• Visit the historic gardens in winter to enjoy the tranquility and vibrant colors. Always check the opening hours in advance, especially for guided tours—which I highly recommend to fully understand the history of the place.

• Take home a special souvenir: camellia oil, produced in Galicia with camellias from our gardens, or tea grown in Galicia—a unique way to connect with our tradition.

If, like me, you enjoy traveling at your own pace, without rush and away from crowds, Galicia in winter is the perfect place for you. Here, you can explore every corner in peace, dedicating the time each experience truly deserves—and the time you need to enjoy it at your own rhythm.

Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, winter in Galicia offers a more authentic experience, where luxury is measured in time, open spaces, and the chance to enjoy each landscape in almost complete solitude. Strolling through a historic town nearly alone, wandering along deserted beaches, or getting lost on trails where the only sounds you’ll hear are the wind and the sea… that’s Galicia in winter. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

• The Cíes Islands in winter: During the colder months, these paradise islands are almost empty. Enjoy deserted beaches, scenic hiking trails, and breathtaking views from the Cíes Lighthouse without the summer crowds. Did you know that National Geographic once named Rodas Beach in the Cíes Islands “the best beach in the world”? And you… are you going to miss out on something like this?

• Charming historic town centers: Take your time exploring places like Tui, Baiona, or Santiago de Compostela. The cobbled streets, centuries-old churches, and cozy cafés invite you to slow down and savor every moment. Many of these historic centers are bustling with thousands of pilgrims in spring and summer as they walk the Camino de Santiago, making it challenging to fully appreciate their beauty. But now, in winter, nothing will stop you from enjoying them to the fullest.

• Sunset at Cabo Silleiro: Just a few minutes from the center of Baiona, this spot is perfect for watching a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic while enjoying a hot (or cold) drink—whichever you prefer. The Faro Pequeno operated as a lighthouse until 1925, and after many years of abandonment, it has been beautifully restored and now houses the fascinating Taberna Atlántica Faro Pequeno. Be sure to grab a table with a great view a few minutes before sunset and… enjoy the show! You can also have lunch or dinner there—try their traditional canned delicacies… absolutely delicious!

• Take your time with every experience, no rush.
• Explore small villages and places that are usually busier in summer, where in winter life moves at a different pace.
• Enjoy the local gastronomy at your own pace, in family-run restaurants and traditional furanchos.

Galicia in winter is the perfect destination to disconnect from the frantic pace of daily life and reconnect with yourself, nature, and history.

Winter in Galicia takes on a special charm during the Christmas season. Although Vigo has become a global reference for its impressive lights and festive atmosphere, Christmas in Galicia is much more than that. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, there are equally magical alternatives that allow you to enjoy the holiday season without the crowds.

• Ribadavia, the Christmas gem of Galicia:

Winner of the “Most Beautiful Village in Spain” award in 2024, Ribadavia transforms into a Christmas fairy tale with its artisanal market, illuminated streets, and the warmth of its traditions. Its perfectly preserved historic center provides the ideal setting to experience the holiday spirit with an authentic touch.

The castle at the entrance of the village and its Jewish Quarter will transport you centuries back in history, while the cobbled streets will make you feel like you’re part of a fairy tale, embracing the magic of Christmas.

• Allariz, the Sustainable Christmas:

This charming village embraces sustainability in its Christmas decorations, using recycled and natural materials. Its streets, adorned with handcrafted elements, create a cozy and unique atmosphere, far from ostentatious light displays.

It’s a collaborative effort carried out by the locals over several months, transforming the historic center of the picturesque town of Allariz into an even more magical place. Pay attention to the details—it’s truly amazing!

• Christmas Markets in Portugal:

Just across the border, you’ll find magical options like the Fortaleza de Valença, which transforms into the “Fortaleza de Chocolate“, an unmissable event for those with a sweet tooth.

Additionally, in Vilanova de Cerveira, its Christmas market blends live music, local crafts, and a perfect atmosphere for the whole family.

• Vigo, the Show of Lights:

We can’t forget about Vigo, with its dazzling display of over 11 million LED lights, its impressive giant Christmas tree (which grows taller each year), and the Ferris wheel that lights up the entire city. If you decide to visit, be sure to plan your stay in advance, as the city welcomes thousands of tourists during this festive season.

I recommend visiting during the week and later in the evening. The lights stay on until 2 a.m., so the best time to go is after 10 p.m. to stroll through the streets without the crowds. Get ready to take thousands of photos in all the specially designed spots for it. And don’t miss the Illas Cíes Market in Vigo’s Alameda, where you’ll find delicious bites to recharge your energy and unique handcrafted items.

There are many parallel events, such as concerts throughout the festive season, so plan your trip carefully to make the most of it!

The Enormous Wheel of Christmas in Vigo

• Visit the Christmas markets on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
• Discover the traditional holiday gastronomy, such as artisanal turrón or filloas.
• Cross the border and experience Christmas in two countries in a single trip.

Galicia at Christmas is the perfect destination for those seeking the sparkle of big cities as well as for those who prefer the tranquility of charming small villages.

Winter in Galicia is synonymous with comforting dishes, delightful aromas, and shared moments around the table. Well, that’s true all year round, but in winter, even more so. Galician gastronomy, with its traditional recipes and seasonal products, is a compelling reason to visit the region during this time of year.

From the famous Galician stew (cocido gallego) to the unique experience of the furanchos, winter invites you to discover the most authentic flavors of Galicia.

• Galician Stew (Cocido Gallego): A hearty (very hearty) dish that combines grelos, chorizo, lacón, potatoes, and chickpeas—perfect for warming up on the coldest days. Remember, it’s filling. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
• Galician Broth (Caldo Gallego): The traditional soup made with grelos, potatoes, and pork fat, perfect for any time of the day.
• Lacón con Grelos: Another classic of Galician winter cuisine that you simply can’t miss this season. As you can see, we Galicians are all about hearty dishes… very hearty!
• Traditional Desserts: You can’t miss trying filloas (similar to crêpes, but without fillings or toppings) and bica, a dense yet fluffy sponge cake typical of the Ourense region, though you’ll find it almost everywhere.

This is the third time I’ve mentioned furanchos, and by now, you must be curious, right? If you’ve never visited a furancho, you’re missing out on one of Galicia’s most authentic gastronomic experiences. But it’s not just about food—it’s a cultural experience, deeply rooted in local traditions.

Furanchos are private homes that open their doors during the winter months to sell their surplus homemade wine, accompanied by traditional home-cooked tapas such as empanada, homemade chorizo, or zorza, to name a few.

They are only open from January to July, so if you’re visiting outside that period, you’ll miss out on this unique experience!

Furanchos offer a unique and familiar atmosphere, where you can enjoy homemade food surrounded by locals in wineries with decades of history and tradition.

Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of an evening among neighbors, singing traditional tavern songs and playing authentic Galician music.

In the Baixo Miño and Rías Baixas, furanchos are a must-visit for those looking to experience Galicia from the inside out.

• Ask the locals for the most authentic furanchos and discover hidden gems.
• Pair your meal with an Albariño or Mencía wine—perfect choices to complement Galician flavors.
• Save room for dessert—you won’t be able to resist it!

Galicia in winter is not only a feast for the senses but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in its most authentic culture through its food and the hospitality of its people.

Winter in Galicia is not only about spectacular landscapes and delicious gastronomy, but also about wellness and relaxation. Thanks to our natural thermal waters and exclusive accommodations, the region offers unique experiences for those looking to unwind and take care of themselves in a privileged setting.

Historic thermal baths with centuries of history, luxury spas with stunning sea views, or natural hot springs in idyllic settings… Winter in Galicia invites you to take a well-deserved break for yourself, surrounded by nature, history, and comfort.

• Termas de Outariz (Ourense): Relax in outdoor thermal pools by the Miño River while enjoying a unique natural setting. The mineral-medicinal waters, with their therapeutic properties, are perfect for revitalizing body and mindduring the colder months. Don’t hesitate—visit at night, and if it’s cold, even better!

• Os Baños de Bande: Thermal baths located in an ancient Roman settlement, surrounded by nature, where you can enjoy a warm soak amidst history and tranquility. These incredible stone-carved thermal baths feature individual tubs as well as communal pools. Just a few meters away, you can also visit the fascinating ruins of the Roman settlement. It’s a truly interesting visit from every perspective!

• Hotel Spa Bienestar Moaña: Located right in front of the Ría de Vigo, this spa offers exclusive treatments and spectacular views. You don’t need to be a guest at the hotel to enjoy its spa facilities and wellness treatments. It’s the perfect option for those looking to relax by the sea in the Rías Baixas. And here’s an extra tip: this hotel is an ideal choice if you want to experience Vigo’s Christmas lights without the hassle. It’s located on the other side of the Ría de Vigo, and you won’t even need to drive—just hop on a ferry that will take you to the heart of Vigo in around 20 minutes. No queues, no traffic, and no crowds. Tell me that’s not a great idea!

• Book in advance to ensure availability, as spa hotels have limited spaces, especially on weekends.And if you’re planning to visit one of our thermal baths, remember that they are public spaces shared by everyone. Let’s all do our part to keep them in optimal condition.
• Combine your stay with outdoor activities, such as gentle hiking trails or coastal walks.
• Take advantage of exclusive treatments featuring natural Galician ingredients, such as seaweed or thalassotherapy with seawater.

If you’re looking to disconnect from stress and treat yourself to a moment of wellness, winter in Galicia offers the perfect opportunity to indulge in exclusive experiences.

Winter in Galicia doesn’t mean staying indoors. On the contrary, it’s the perfect time to explore our hidden gems in a different way—enjoying nature at its finest, scenic hiking trails, and the breathtaking Atlantic coast. The cooler temperatures are no obstacle to experiencing the great outdoors, and if you’re a fan of active tourism, Galicia in winter will amaze you.

You can choose between relaxing walks and more challenging trails—each path offers a unique opportunity to connect with the surroundings and discover breathtaking landscapes in their most authentic and solitary form.

• Camiño dos Faros: This coastal route, which connects Malpica with Fisterra, allows you to explore cliffs, iconic lighthouses, and deserted beaches along its 200-kilometer stretch. Winter adds a mystical touch, with the powerful sea crashing against the rocks. Walking the entire route takes several days, but it’s also a great option to explore by car, making stops at the different lighthouses along the way. And why not visit the other lighthouses along the Galician coast? While the Costa da Morte is more rugged and requires more guiding points for ships, the Rías Baixas also have lighthouses worth stopping at during your journey.

• Hiking Trails Along the Miño River: The Miño is the father of all Galician rivers. It crosses the region from northeast to southwest, where it forms a natural border with Portugal for many kilometers. Along its course, you’ll find numerous trails perfect for discovering the beauty of the river landscape, with lush riparian forests and breathtaking viewpoints. On both the Spanish and Portuguese sides, many trails are well-marked and easy to follow, making them ideal for hiking with children or even cycling in many areas.

• Exploring the Atlantic Forests: Places like the Serra do Xurés or the Fragas do Eume are perfect for disconnecting in the heart of nature and enjoying the silence that winter brings.

• Coastal Walks: Strolling along Rodas Beach in the Cíes Islands or A Lanzada Beach in winter is a completely different experience—no crowds, just the Atlantic breeze as your only companion. You can also visit the Nigrán area, which is much busier in the summer months but perfect for enjoying a peaceful winter sunset.

• Choose the Right Equipment: Dress in layers so you can easily adjust if you get too warm or cold, and wear waterproof footwear for the wetter trails. Remember, our mountains are full of water, so you’ll definitely need it!
• Check the Weather Forecast: Galicia’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to plan each activity carefully.Pay special attention to the wind if you’re heading to the coast.
• Make the Most of Daylight Hours: Winter days are shorter, so it’s best to plan your activities in advance. I recommend starting your hikes in the morning and ending the day by recharging in a furancho or a traditional restaurant.

Winter in Galicia offers active travelers the opportunity to explore breathtaking nature in its purest form, with the added advantage of doing so without the summer crowds.

• The Historic Center of Santiago de Compostela: The jewel of Galicia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site takes on a special charm during the colder months. The Plaza del Obradoiro, the cathedral, and its cobbled streets acquire a melancholic and serene atmosphere that invites reflection and contemplation. At no other time of the year will you be able to experience it with such tranquility.

Winter in Galicia offers the opportunity to discover its history in a peaceful and special atmosphere, where every corner tells a story of both past and present.

The Entroido, as Carnival is known in Galicia, is one of the most authentic and vibrant festivities in the region. With roots dating back centuries, Entroido blends tradition, folklore, and fun in an atmosphere that can only be experienced here.

Every corner of Galicia has its own way of celebrating Carnival, featuring iconic characters, colorful parades, and special gastronomy that complements the festivities.

Of course, you already know—we love to eat! In winter, Entroido is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in Galician culture in a unique and fun way.
