    Where can I find pics of Galicia and more specifically La Coruna?

    Just curious as to what the region looks like after seeing a travel dvd on Spain. They showed almost the entire country except for the Pyrenesse, Basque, and Galicia regions.

    After googling "Galicia" I mostly found maps. Then I googled "La Coruna" and found more actual photographs. I don't know any specific sites though.

    if you want to see more go to google and type in fotos de a coruna or fotos de galicia

    the most famous touristdestination in Galicia is Santiago de Compostela

    Enjoy

    one thing you might not know and most people do not because they do not associate it with Spain is the fact that the bagpipe is the official musical instrument of Galicia.
    This is due to the many Celtic influences in Galicia.

    Carlos Nunez has been described by some as the Jimi hendrix of the bagpipe.

    It's like google earth but with more resolution.
    Select Zoom+ and click in the map.
    First it would be a road map but at last a photograf picture.
