Galicia is an autonomous community of Spain on the northwestern corner of the country. It holds the official status of nationality, on account of its ethnic composition which places the local language, Galician, on par with Standard Spanish or Castilian.

Galicia covers 29,574.4 sq km (11,418.7 sq mi). It has a population of 2.8 million people, making it the 5th most populous autonomous community in the country. The capital is Santiago de Compostela.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
