Tips
During your walk through Galicia, you will walk through eucalyptus forests again and again. These trees, which are actually native to Australia, were brought to Galicia in the 19th century. In recent years, they have experienced a great reforestation. This is discussed regionally controversial, since they dig up the other trees, among other things, the water. For you this means above all hiking with eucalyptus scent in the nose.
