Perhaps one reason that parts of Spain still remain “unspoiled” is that Spaniards are not all that anxious to turn their country over to tourists. They have seen how Teutonized and Anglicized the Mediterranean coast has become, but then they never cared that deeply about the south. It is Galicia they really love, and the fewer foreigners who discover it, the better.
Galicia is the northwest province, bordering the Atlantic, beautiful in summer along the lazy sunny coves and inlets, but vibrantly green and mild, dotted with vineyards and scenic valleys year round—an emerald crown on Spain’s tawny, craggy countenance. Visitors see a resemblance to Ireland in the rosy-cheeked, gay-hearted Galicians.
