Best Time to Visit
June to September for mild weather and cultural events, including the world-famous Festival Internacional do Mundo Celta in July.
Local Tips
Car rental is recommended for exploring remote beaches and cliffs. Try the local pulpo a la gallega (Galician octopus) at portside taverns.

Tipping is modest but appreciated (round up the bill or leave 5–10%). Dress casually but respectfully in churches. Locals greet with a handshake or two kisses on the cheek.
Safety Warnings
Ortigueira is very safe, but be cautious near rugged coastal cliffs due to strong winds and slippery paths. Watch out for jellyfish when swimming, and keep valuables secure at festivals.
Hidden Gems
Explore the Mirador de San Roque for breathtaking estuary views, or visit the tidal Mill of Senra, a peaceful historical site off the usual tourist path.
