Galicia’s weather can vary between the coast and inland areas, even on the same day. Keep your plans flexible, check forecasts before outdoor activities and allow extra time for winding rural roads.
In popular summer destinations, booking accommodation ahead can make a difference. For quieter places, confirm opening hours and transport connections rather than assuming they run every day.
