If you haven’t yet discovered Galicia, prepare to be amazed! Situated in the lush north-west of Spain, this region showcases formidable coastlines, mysterious forests, legendary lighthouses and picturesque stone towns.
Bordered by Portugal to the south, Asturias to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Galicia combines Celtic heritage, marine traditions and world-famous gastronomy uniquely.
While most travellers only make it to Santiago, there is so much more to explore. Galicia is one of Spain’s most surprising and authentic regions.
Below, you will find a select range of day excursions from either Santiago de Compostela, Vigo or La Coruña. Galicia is best explored by private vehicle, as public transport options are quite limited outside the main cities. Our chauffeured services comfortably cover most of this corner of Spain, which feels like the end of the world in many ways — you’ll have to come and discover it for yourselves!
South of Santiago lies the postcard-perfect region of the Rías Baixas. Known worldwide for Albariño wine, this coastal paradise offers vineyards by the sea, viewpoints overlooking emerald estuaries and tiny fishing villages where time seems to slow down.
On a tailor-made Rías Baixas day excursion, you can stroll through historic wineries, sample award-winning Albariños, visit islands like Ons or A Toxa, and explore charming towns such as Combarro, famous for its stone granaries (hórreos) by the water.
Seafood lovers — this area is your paradise!
A Coruña mixes ocean views, urban life and ancient history beautifully. The city’s star attraction is the Tower of Hercules, the world’s oldest working Roman lighthouse and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From here, follow the wild coastline dotted with rugged cliffs and scenic promenades.
The old town, María Pita Square and the seafront make A Coruña perfect for a private guided tour. And nearby, the dramatic Costa da Morte (“Coast of Death”) awaits — home to legendary shipwreck stories, lighthouses perched on the edge of the world, and some of Galicia’s most impressive ocean landscapes.
If you’re drawn to nature and legends, Galicia will feel magical. Explore the Fragas do Eume, one of Europe’s best-preserved Atlantic forests, or marvel at Ézaro Waterfall, the only river in Spain that cascades directly into the sea. Visit ancient Celtic settlements like Castro de Baroña, wonderfully set on a rocky peninsula.
These routes are ideal for nature lovers seeking a custom day excursion filled with landscapes, mythology and quiet hiking trails.
Galicia stands as one of Spain’s most prestigious gastronomic sanctuaries, celebrated for its bounty from the Atlantic. Imagine savoring freshly caught octopus (pulpo), delicate razor clams, and plump mussels, perfectly paired with artisanal empanadas, rich creamy cheeses, and crisp natural cider.
To truly immerse yourself, our bespoke excursions are crafted to include vibrant coastal markets, intimate seafood tastings in authentic local taverns, or even a private boat experience to witness where these delicacies are harvested firsthand.
