Why I Fell in Love With Galicia: Europe’s Hidden Summer Beach Paradise

#mediterraneanvibes When most travelers think of summer in #europe , their minds go straight to the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, or the Greek islands. But let me let you in on a secret: the region of #galicia in northwest Spain offers some of the most stunning beaches, wild coastlines, and fresh seafood in all of Europe. #postandearn When I planned my trip, I booked my flights to Santiago de Compostela and my seaside hotels on Trip.com, which made it easy to hop between coastal towns. And honestly, Galicia completely changed the way I think about summer in Europe. Galicia isn’t about crowded beaches and overpriced cocktails. It’s raw, authentic, and breathtaking. ✅ Playa de Rodas (Cíes Islands): Voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, this white-sand crescent feels like the Caribbean—if the Caribbean had pine trees and a refreshing Atlantic breeze. ✅ Playa de las Catedrales: Famous for its dramatic rock formations and arches, this beach is best explored at low tide when you can walk under natural stone “cathedrals.” ✅ Playa Carnota: At over 7 kilometers long, this wild and often empty beach is perfect for long walks, kite flying, and feeling like you have the entire Atlantic Ocean to yourself.
