Galicia


In Spain, there are 17 autonomous communities. Autonomous communities have the power of self government within limits of the constitution of Spain. Within these autonomous communities are other provinces which have their own capitals.

 I currently live in the Autonomous community of Galicia, which is where Santiago de Compostela(the capital) is located. As you can see, there are four provinces in Galicia. Galicia proudly boasts of their fishing industry and Zara (started near A Coruña). The most important cities in Galicia are probably Vigo, A Coruña, and Santiago De Compostela. People of Vigo and A Coruña are really proud of their fútbol teams. 



Real Club Celta de Vigo, who plays in Primera Division de La Liga BBVA, is my favorite fútbol team even though they suck. I think they're #16 in the standings right 
now...














This is Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña. They are the biggest rivals of Celta de Vigo. Hate them or love them, the truth is they really really suck. As of now, they play in Segunda Division, one level lower than Celta De Vigo. (Puta A Coruña)
On the other hand, Santiago is like the jem of Galicia. It is home to many famous cathedrals, the last stop of the camino, and the Universidad de Santiago. If you go there, you will see lots of English speaking and Japanese tourists with hiking gear and stuff.
