As part of my adventure-packed Semana Santa, my French friend came to Galicia for 48 hours. And according to the Clash, 48 hours needs 48 thrills! Given the short amount of time, I'd say we saw a good amount of Galicia.
Day 1 we went to the beach in Arteixo, a small city near A Coruña, because he's never seen the ocean. Then we headed further south along the Costa da Morte ("Coast of Death" thanks to many a-shipwreck taking place in the region) until Fisterra. It's the most western land in continental Europe, dubbed "the end of the world" by Romans. At night we (my English speaking
amiguiños and I) showed him the "wild" Lugo nightlife. Not really wild, but he did get to try some specific Galician and Spanish drinks and tapas.
Day 2 found us travelling to the North coast, specifically the beach of As Catedrais. I've been there before, but it's magnificent rock formations were certainly worth another trip. We also stopped in the town of Viveiro (I think...) to walk around.
Day 3 was a brief tour of A Coruña, although we didn't even make it up to the Tower of Hercules due to time constraints. That's alright though; it leaves plenty to do for the next visit.
