Galicia and northern Portugal combo?

Hi there- first time question-asker on this forum, and hoping for some assist in seeing Galicia from Porto Portugal.

We spent time in Barcelona, Tarragona, Madrid and Salamanca last May and now have our sights on Portugal. But I felt last time a longing to go to Galicia and thought it if was relatively do-able, I'd like to tack it onto our Portugal trip May 2024.

We're going to be coming from Florence, and will have 12 nights available from May 1-13 for Portugal, and have an interest in Lisbon (4-5 nights) Porto (4-5 nights) and a couple in the Algarve area

I was thinking of adding in somewhere in Galicia 2 nights (maybe instead of Algarve) if public transport was easy and it was worth it for variety of something other than what we're doing in Portugal.

Could anyone guide me a bit in this area?

TIA for any input you may have

To do Galicia justice you need more than two nights. If it’s two nights or nothing, then consider Santiago de Compostela or Lugo.

I agree with Jaime. I’m headed to Galicia next week—with 10 days can’t fit everything that interests me.
