@replytomaikel hrm, okay that's good to know. the main reason I was interested in Galicia is that supposedly it's one of the few areas in the world with a climate similar to the Pacific Northwest in North America: a temperate rainforest during autumn winter and spring, but with dry summers. sounds like maybe it's a bit more variable there, here we have maybe a week or two of humid heat each year but I think it's mostly the summer sun cooking off the last of the spring damp, then it's gone.
