La Calma means tranquility. And here in Galicia, that comes with a salty breeze, the scent of blooming apple trees, and a slow morning coffee on the terrace. You gaze at an apple orchard that bursts into bloom in spring, then head to the beach – perfect for learning to surf or taking a lazy stroll through the dunes and pine forest. After a day of waves and wind in your hair, you return to your peaceful haven. In the modern kitchen, you can whip up a paella together, while the large windows offer views that recharge both your aesthetic and solar batteries.

And if you start craving a bit of city life, A Coruña tempts with tapas on Calle de la Franja, the Tower of Hercules, and seaside promenades. You can take a boat to the Sisargas Islands, visit the aquarium, or simply get lost among the colorful townhouses. Meanwhile, the charming town of Cariño offers the atmosphere of a Galician fishing port and some of the highest cliffs in Europe. Here, you can enjoy fantastic seafood, walk along the beach, and take in the endless Atlantic views from Vixía Herbeira.
