The most popular time to visit Galicia is December, when the region comes alive with festive celebrations and a warm holiday spirit. With mild temperatures averaging in the mid-50s Fahrenheit, this is an excellent opportunity to explore the charming towns and vibrant markets, all while enjoying the cozy ambiance that characterizes this time of year.
During the peak season from May to July, Galicia welcomes a flurry of tourist activity. This is when the landscape bursts into bloom, making it an ideal time for outdoor enthusiasts to hike along the stunning coastline or immerse themselves in the lush greenery of the countryside. The pleasant weather encourages leisurely strolls through historic sites, and you'll find that many local festivals take place during these months, showcasing Galician culture and cuisine.
If you're looking for an adventure that's both enriching and less crowded, consider visiting in February. This month is often overlooked but offers a great experience with fewer tourists and a chance to connect more intimately with the local culture. You can savor traditional Galician dishes in cozy restaurants, often at more budget-friendly prices, without the hustle and bustle of the peak season.
