Heading up My Destination Galicia - Mark Auchincloss

Mark first visited Galicia in 1994 where he ended up at a fiesta of tuna in Burela! Having eaten every conceivable seafood dish and local delicacy washed down with the wines of the region, he's been coming back regularly ever since.

He now lives in Baiona in the Rias Baixas and his property boasts incredible views overlooking the old town, parador, port and Las Islas Cies!

Mark used to be Senior Director of a national town planning consultancy in Bristol, England where he worked for over 20 years. His business and IT skills have propelled him onto even greater things in Galicia where he already has a number of friends and contacts especially in La Coruna, Santiago de Compostela and in Vigo.

Mark loves the people, its gastronomy as well as Galicia's natural beauty and rich architectural heritage. He hopes to be a good ambassador for all it has to offer. In his spare time he likes playing football and reading travel literature/novels.
