What is alive
The map is not only stone: there is also wildlife and plants area by area, with the species most often recorded in each and their Galician name.
Municipality by municipality
The 313 municipalities of Galicia have their own page with what is catalogued in each, and also with what is missing: anyone can add it.
Where the data comes from
From open sources, and each entry says which is its own: Wikidata and OpenStreetMap for the places, Wikipedia for the texts, Wikimedia Commons for the photos. The drawing of the map —the coast, the rivers, the Caminos, the municipal boundaries— comes from no tile provider: it is drawn from our own GeoJSON. The project is not for profit and carries no advertising. You can read how it is made or the licences.
