With regards to the tourist industry within Spain, Northern Spain and in particular Galicia especially have been very much a hidden treasure and hidden within lies a further particular treasure called [[keyword]]. Of all of the autonomous regions of Spain Galicia is considered the most remote and therein lies the charm of [[keyword]] hidden away longing to be discovered.
Galicia has always been seen as a poor rural region, whose economy was dependent upon agriculture and fishing and did not lend itself to modernisation and yet as far as tourism is concerned it is this constant contact with the past that gives the region its appeal and charm.
The Galicians are fiercely proud of their culture and language and their Celtic heritage; it is what makes them unique (they feel) within modern day Spain.
Galicia always seemed to be a very closed and inward looking area being fiercely resistant to any formal external invasion and in many ways this degree of isolation was very much driven by the geographical location of the region.
In what has been a mountain to climb slowly but surely Galicia is now trying to manage successfully the twin track of its regional lifestyle with a much more modern society and thankfully this appears to have had very positive results with regards to tourism with little sign of negative effects..

Ferrol can be found on the northern coast of Galicia and is mid way between the coastlines known as the Rias Altas and the Costa da Morte. It is located on the northern shores of the Ria de Betanzos.
Ferrol is perhaps better known for one of the towns most famous (or infamous) sons, a certain Francisco France y Bahamonde who later on in life became better known as just simply General Franco, leader of Spain between the between the 1930â ™s up until the ate 1960â ™s and extremely influential up until his death in 1975.
Perhaps it is something to do with the local approach to the whole General Franco association but Ferrol is very much a town that has possibly a schizophrenic approach to itself and its history.
As a naval port, Ferrol lost most of its influence (and Spanish fleet) in the peninsular war of the early 1800â ™s but it still retains quite some influence us fall as being a port is concerned and evidence of the Spanish Navy can be found throughout the town.
Sadly as an area of quite high unemployment many would view that Ferrols greatest days are behind it, however the streets around the harbour would tend to suggest otherwise.
Sadly the outskirts of the town have been described as some of most depressing urban landscapes in all of Spain but dont let this distract you from visiting the city centre is this still retains a certain charm.
Yes, the waterfront is mostly dominated and taken out by naval buildings and dockyards but if you walk along the waterfront you can get a good idea of just how large Ferrols natural harbour actually is.
