Where Should I go: Brittany or Galicia?
Brittany
Brittany is a cultural region in the northwest of France. It has also been known as Lesser or Little Britain. It is bordered by the English Channel to the north, the Celtic Sea and Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Bay of Biscay to the south. Brittany is recognized by the Celtic League as one of the six Celtic nations, maintaining a distinct cultural identity that reflects its history. Everything about Brittany is distinctive, from its geography and its granite looks to its traditions and its language. The region stands apart from the rest of France, its long peninsula reaching out 300 kilometers into the Atlantic, however, Brittany isn't isolated, but open to the world. While it celebrates its traditions, it's also forward-looking and fun-loving. Brittany boasts a staggering 1,700 miles of coastline and is one of France's very top destinations for tourism and seaside holidays.
Galicia
Located in the lush green corner of northwestern Spain, the region of Galicia is best known for its seafood and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela located in the capital city. With an extensive Atlantic coastline, the climate of Galicia is often damp, though there are a number of rugged beaches that are frequented during the summer season. Other highlights include a culture that traces back to Celtic tribes and unique architecture from ancient standing stones to elaborate cathedrals.
