La mitad del año siempre dice la verdad.
O estás construyendo algo… o estás posponiéndolo.
Galipreneur Connect del 18 de junio es simple: Una sala. Gente construyendo cosas. Silencio cómodo. Energía compartida.
Nada más. Y a veces, eso lo cambia todo.

Dreaming of buying a stone house in Galicia? 🏡 You're not alone.

For many international buyers, the idea of restoring a centuries-old home surrounded by forests, vineyards, or ocean views is part of what makes Galicia so appealing. But the purchase price is often only the beginning of the story.
Before falling in love with the charm, it's worth understanding what can be hiding behind those granite walls:
🔹 Ownership and registration issues
🔹 Planning and renovation restrictions
🔹 Coastal and rural land regulations
🔹 Damp, drainage, and structural problems
🔹 Energy-efficiency requirements
🔹 Hidden renovation costs
🔹 Grants that may help—but come with conditions

The good news? Many of these risks can be identified and managed with proper due diligence before you buy.
In our latest article, we break down the legal, financial, and practical realities of purchasing an older property in Galicia, including what foreign buyers most often overlook and how to avoid expensive surprises.

We're delighted to share that LiveGalicia founder Ángela-Jo Touza-Medina will be speaking at the 2026 Nomad Summit in Tallinn this July.

Her talk, Rooted and Remote: Migration, Belonging, and the Future of Location-Independent Work, explores a question that sits at the heart of LiveGalicia's work: what does it take not just to relocate, but to truly belong?

As increasing numbers of people build lives across borders, conversations about integration, community, identity, and place are becoming more important than ever. While technology has made location-independent work possible, meaningful connection still depends on our relationships with the places we choose to call home and the communities that welcome us.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in migration, refugee and immigrant integration, social impact, international development, and community building—and on nearly a decade of work through LiveGalicia— Ángela-Jo will explore how belonging can be cultivated in an increasingly mobile world.

We're grateful to the Nomad Summit team for creating space for these conversations and look forward to contributing to the dialogue alongside an inspiring international community of speakers, founders, researchers, and changemakers.

See you in Tallinn.- https://www.nomadsummit.com

Happy Pride Month from all of us at LiveGalicia. 🏳️‍🌈

June is a moment to celebrate, and it's also a moment to be honest. Being LGBTQ+ and building a life in a new place — in a new language, in a culture that's still becoming familiar — carries its own particular weight. The joy is real. So is the work of finding your people.

Galicia has something that's hard to name but easy to feel once you're here: a quietness that makes space. Not loud acceptance, not performative inclusion — just room to be, and community waiting to be found.

We wrote about what that actually looks like on the ground — legal rights, healthcare, Pride in the cities, rural realities, q***r families, and here to find your people across A Coruña, Vigo, Santiago, and beyond: https://livegalicia.medium.com/lgbtq-life-as-a-foreigner-in-galicia-spain-9638160bc48d

To everyone in our community building life here: we see you. Feliz Mes del Orgullo. 🌈
