The Great Galicia

By Julia Altsjö, Nathalie Josefsson, Rasmus Flink

Two official languages, 100 rainy days and a special cheese, those are only some of the things typical of Galicia.



Galicia is a region in the north west of Spain. The name Galicia comes from the Latin name Gallaecia. Before the roman invasion multiple tribes lived in the area. During year 800 and 900 Galician greaves had variated power and the coasts did often get attacked by Normands and Vikings. They build the towers in Catoira to protect Santiago de Compostela from the attacks. When general Fransisco Franco died Galicia became a democracy again.
