Galicia is a green rainswept region remarkable for its coastal cliffs and bays (rias). Traditionally, it was seen as a poor agricultural region whose economy did not lend itself to modernization. It was never conquered by the Moors. Bordering Portugal to the south and enclosed by the waters of the Atlantic, Galicia could offer its inhabitants little on the way of new land for cultivation. Overpopulation and unemployment forced many to emigrate. Galicia has always maintained strong links with the sea, with A Coruna, a port for commerce and industry. However fishing is vital to the economy and Galician seafood is the best in Spain.
The coast line, interrupted with fjord like rias of partly submerged river valleys, is dotted with fishing villages. Much of its coast is called Costa da Morte, because there have been so many shipwrecks along its treacherous rocky shore. Galicia is also the spiritual home of Spain. Santiago de Compostela is the most important religious and cultural network of pilgrimage routes of St James, who is the patron saint of the Spanish nation. It is said that St James appeared in the mythical battle of of Clavijo, helping the Christian in defeating the Moors in 23 May 834.
