Introduction

This is a blog about doing 4 months long internship in Galicia (Spain). I am Finnish student of graphic design (university degree) and doing my internship in one design company in Vigo. This blog is about my experiences during the time, mostly related to the work itself and the culture of Galicia.

I have already lived here in Galicia about nine months, from October 2006. I lieved in another, a lot smaller place, at the town of Pontevedra where the faculty of fine arts of university of Vigo is located. Because of my previous experience about Galician culture, I want to make the difference between Spain (overally) and Galicia (autonomous pronvince). Galicia is located north west coast of Spain, just top of Portugal. Because of this, climate, history and other things many cultural details aren´t found other areas of Spain. So don´t think that everything I tell in this blog is applicable for example in Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla etc...Actually thinking so, could be a big mistake.

In my opinion everyone should know that Spain isn´t just about bull fighting and flamenco. Those things are difficult to find here. Which I think is more good than bad. Especially because here are a lot other things to discover...
