Galicians love their parades and fireworks, so it's no surprise they have celebrations during the summer that incorporate these festivities along with live music and dance. The Os Peliqueiros Carnival is held in the nearby town of Laza in around February and March each year. Locals dress up as Os Peliqueiros (ornamentally outfitted “kings”) and battle each other with flour and live ants. Festas de San Xoán commemorates the birth of John the Baptist on the night of the 23rd of June each year. Galicians light bonfires on the beaches and set fire to an alcoholic drink called queimada, which is meant to keep witches away. On the 24th and 25th of July each year, the Fiesta de Santiago Apóstol celebrates James, the patron saint of Galicia. Aside from cultural events, dancing and singing, there are huge fireworks displays on the 24th of July, while the 25th is known as Galicia Day. You can join in all the fun by booking a flight to Galicia from London. There are direct flights that take a couple of hours to Santiago de Compostela from London airports such as Stansted and Gatwick.
Seafood lovers will rejoice in Galicia. This coastal Spanish community is blessed with the freshest and best quality fish and other sea creatures like mussels and clams, which are cooked to perfection in the local restaurants. Even a simple dish like pulpo a la Feira is amazing; it's melt-in-the-mouth boiled octopus and tentacles with smoked paprika and olive oil, served with potatoes. You can find it at markets and tapas bars, or try Restaurante San Jaime in Calle Raiña. In winter, you should definitely taste some Caldo Gallego, a broth traditionally eaten by farmers; it's full of hearty vegetables, beans, pork lard and other local ingredients. You can feast on this at Los Caracoles in Santiago de Compostela. Galicia is proud of its beef: there's a special breed of cows called Galician blonde, and the best way to savour this meat is grilled. Bodega El Capricho is a specialist in this meat and is worth the drive to Jiménez de Jamuz just outside Galicia. And if you're in the mood for something sweet, you can't miss tarta de Santiago, Galicia's most famous dessert cake made with ground almonds and occasionally a bit of brandy, and usually topped with a cross of Saint James. Have a bite at Pastelería Mercedes Mora in nearby Santiago de Compostela.
Galicia is steeped in history, and you can find old architecture, ruins of palaces and aged roadways in its cities and towns. The old town in Santiago de Compostela has some little shops and restaurants and the ancient market Mercado de Abastos de Santiago. Don't miss the impressive Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. Santiago de Compostela is also the endpoint of the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Pazo de Oca, dating back to the 12th century, is probably Galicia's most famous old palace. You can stroll through the baroque gardens, lakes, mazes and sculptures. Those who'd rather relax on white sands should visit the Cíes archipelago's three islands just off the coast of Vigo. Praia de Rodas beach sits between Illa de Monteagudo and Illa do Faro and has earned the title of “Best Beach in the World”. For a lovely afternoon in a romantic town, make your way to Pontevedra with its age-old bridges that will take you to cafés, bars and restaurants overlooking clear waters.
