Galician A1 - Welcome

Galician is one of the 5 official languages of Spain, spoken by around 3 million people in Galicia (north-western Spain).

Santiago de Compostela is one of the most famous towns in Galicia, the last stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. It is also known for its rías, 1200 km of coastal estuaries, with seafood being an important part of Galician culture and language.

Galician is making a comeback, with over 90% speaking the language of the region. If you are looking to visit the "terra de meigas" or "the land of the witches" as Galicia is known, make sure you know at least a few words of this language of the ancient pilgrims.
