About this region

Galicia's railway network provides access to a diverse range of municipalities, each with its own distinct character. The comarcas, or districts, further delineate the regional identities within Galicia. In Ourense, within the Ourense comarca, the Las Burgas hot springs offer a unique experience in the city centre, heated to 67 degrees Celsius. The local cuisine features pulpo á feira, a Galician octopus dish, and empanada de zorza, a savoury pie. Further north, in the Lugo comarca, the city of Lugo boasts the only fully intact Roman wall in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A stroll along the wall at sunset is a must, followed by sampling pulpo á feira in the Plaza del Campo. Santiago de Compostela, in the Santiago comarca, is renowned as the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. The Cathedral, particularly striking at sunset, overlooks the Plaza del Obradoiro. Here, you can sample pulpo á feira in the Mercado de Abastos and tarta de Santiago, an almond cake, in Casa Mora. These municipalities, connected by rail, offer a glimpse into Galicia's rich history, culture, and gastronomy. The ease of access encourages exploration beyond the major cities, revealing the diverse character of the region's smaller towns and villages.
