What travelers say:

Sotomayor in Galicia has a beautiful medieval castle built in the 12th century and was the center of power in medieval Galicia. The Spanish writer María Vinyals was born and lived here for a long time, and she was the successor to the castle. As a pioneer of Spanish feminism, she opened schools here to support women's education and independence, opened salons for artists' gatherings, and also established hospitals, machinery factories and cheese workshops. There is also a botanical garden of more than 15, 000 square meters, and 175 different tree species have been discovered so far, some of which are more than 800 years old. In addition, there are more than 300 camellia plants of 22 different types, and the Cafeteria International Association has awarded this garden an honor of “International Garden of Excellence”. The hydrangeas of Galicia are particularly beautiful, but camellia is the representative flower of the Galicia region, there are some very classic "camellia road", if you come to Galicia, do not forget to see camellia!
