This is a space dedicated to sharing the beauty, culture, and essence of Galicia—a region where the rhythm of the sea and the richness of tradition create a life like no other.
You might wonder: why call Galicia "Galifornia"? The name playfully combines "Galicia" with the laid-back, ocean-loving vibes often associated with California. While Galicia has its own unique identity, the comparison highlights its stunning coastline, vibrant lifestyle, and deep connection to the sea. With over 1,500 km of rugged shores, pristine beaches, and charming fishing villages, Galicia is a paradise for those who love the ocean and the simple pleasures of coastal living.
But Galifornia is more than a nickname; it’s a way to capture the spirit of this extraordinary place. The Atlantic shapes life here, from the seafood-rich gastronomy to the mystical beauty of its green landscapes. Whether savouring fresh shellfish by the water, surfing at a hidden cove, or hiking through ancient forests, Galicia offers a lifestyle deeply rooted in nature and tradition.
As an architect who’s spent years bridging international styles and ideas, I’m passionate about showcasing how local charm can meet global sophistication. This blog is born from my love for Galicia and a desire to share its magic with the world. Here, you’ll find reflections on life by the Atlantic, soulful design ideas inspired by the region, and tips for exploring everything Galicia has to offer. My hope is to inspire you to see the beauty in the everyday, whether you live by the sea or simply dream of it.
