Where Should I go: Navarre or Galicia?

Navarre

The Navarre Region is an autonomous community in Northern Spain. It borders the La Rioja Region of Spain and Nouvelle-Aquitaine in France. It is an area full of history and tradition and its capital city is Pamplona. The Region is very diverse in geography with craggy mountains that roll of into flowing rivers. The beautiful mountain slopes have many cattle pastures and vast forests that include hardwoods, which are important economically. The valleys produce sugar beets, cereals, and vegetables; vineyards are also important in some of the valley areas. Industrialization has increased since the 1950's as a result of hydroelectric energy and entrepreneurship.

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.
