My great-grandparents on my grandma's side were both born there--so I'd love to go to the area my ancestors were from.
If anyone here lives or has lived in Galicia, what was your experience like there? How did you find Galicia compared to other regions of Spain? And do you have any advice for someone moving there?
Thank you!

Hiya
Cant speak for working or living there but Ijust returned from a break over there.
We concentrated on the large towns of Santiago, Lugo & Pontevedra. I wouldn't say from what I saw they were less touristy, but the countryside is beautiful. Very green and rolling hills. Very wet as well!
I found it very un Spanish, as did my friends ... some of the houses there looked like you would see in Austria or Switzerland
No problem with language though, I was told it would be Galleago, but in fact it wasn't a problem at all.
Where were you thinking of settling
