IGP area (country wine) in the Spanish region of Galicia; see there.

Autonomous region or historical landscape of Spain with around 30,000 km² in the northwest of the Iberian peninsula, stretching along the Atlantic coast. The region borders Portugal to the south and the Basque Country to the east, with which Galicia belongs to the "green Spain".
