In our quest to bring you villas in areas of cultural interest around Europe we feel it only proper to share a little more information about how some of the ancient cultures were formed and still survive today. All of our villas are in areas of cultural interest, perhaps even more so with Galicia in Spain… a fascinating place that offers something of cultural interest at every turn.

We have to start by saying that Galicia’s culture is unique to the rest of Spain’s in that it was founded on a Celtic rather than Latino or Hispanic belief and society. You’ll typically find no Flamenco dancers of sombrero hats here I’m afraid and in their place you’ll rather bizarrely find bagpipes and a more dour style which perhaps represents the cooler weather, tougher lifestyle and economic strife that Galicia has suffered in the past.
