The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Galicien.
The Coast of Contrasts: North vs. South 🧭
Galicia's coast is divided in two. The north, the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death), is rugged and wild, with dramatic cliffs and lonely beaches. The south, the Rías Baixas, is gentler, with sheltered bays, vineyards, and the scent of Albariño. Both parts are worth a visit, but choose according to your preferences.
Mobile in Galicia: Leave the motorhome behind? 🚌
Galicia is best explored with your own vehicle. However, many roads are narrow and winding. Think carefully about whether you really want to take your motorhome everywhere. In some regions, it's worth parking the motorhome at a campsite and exploring the surroundings by bus or rental car. Tolls apply on the motorways.
Insider Tip: Enchanting Ourense 🤫
Away from the coast, in the heart of Galicia, lies Ourense, known for its hot springs (Termas). Here you can relax in natural thermal baths and let your soul dangle. The Romans already knew why they settled here. An unforgettable experience, especially in the cooler months.
