"I'm in love with my Galician beaches and coasts... I think I'm repeating myself a bit... but you could spend the whole summer going to and from coves and not repeat! That's the best thing... also how undeveloped it is and how wild it is! I think that's the best thing about our beaches... they are so, so natural!"
