Mario Casas in 'Toro'
we have stayed with Mario Casas-Sierra (A Coruña, 1986) and louis tosar (Lugo, 1971) to get lost in that land of meigas, oaks, mountains, rain, beaches for surfing... and much more. Galicia is a changing and polyhedral microcosm where there is always a forest to discover, a beach to escape to or a village to disappear into , as Mario Casas likes to do.
"The good of Galicia is that you can escape wherever you want along the coast and enter any bar that is more hidden; you are going to eat incredible and you are going to meet good people”, explains the actor from Coruña. He admits that when he returns home he likes to disappear: “ I rent a house that is between the mountains and the sea in some little village , I like that kind of getaway away from the cosmopolitan”.
to rediscover A Coruna recommends us to visit the beach of reason , perfect for surfing or going to concerts and, of course, Riazor . “If you haven't had the chance to go to A Coruña, the whole beach area where the stadium is is beautiful : eating in front of the sea is a necessary experience”.

GALICIA AND THE RAIN
Like a good Galician, Casas makes a climate claim. “Every time it rains you see people protest and apart from the fact that we need it to rain, there is something beautiful in rainy days and Galicia has that ”. He stays with the changing days of the Galician summers, in which he is most in his land. “I am much more attracted to the rain to roast you for three months and that's it ”, he tells Traveler.

A LUCENSE ROADTRIP WITH LUIS TOSAR
To enter his native province louis tosar he proposes a Galician road trip. “What I advise is to grab a car and start putting in the kilometres: Lugo is a small province but it has incredible places”, explains Tosar. Where to start? “You can go to the southeast, the entire area that already borders León and Asturias, it is deep mountain with incredible places . Then you can go a bit to my land, if you want a completely contrasting landscape, which is the Terra Chá, the world of livestock ”, he continues.

The city of Lugo, with its roman wall Almost two and a half kilometers long, it is another of the essential stops. “The perspective of the city is worth it; in few places you can find something like this, almost a kind of invasion of the privacy of the intramural Lugo ”, He tells us. And, of course, it does not miss one of the treasures of the province: “ the mariña lucense , the entire coastal area, is full of amazing places including As Catedrais beach , an unavoidable visit although a little overcrowded”.

OF BARS WITH TOSAR
Tosar is the leader of the group The Ellas since the nineties and we want to know which live music venues, beer in hand, we should not miss on our getaway. “ The Iguana Club in Vigo it is mythical, of course almost all Spanish rock has passed through there..., and a good part of international rock, including Green Day when they were still unknown”, tells us Tosar, honorary ambassador of the city's Casco Vello.
also missing a cinema converted into a concert hall . "The Capitol Room of Santiago de Compostela is much younger, it is less historic, but I think it is one of the best venues to play with a band in all of Spain : it is a beautiful place and the acoustics are wonderful, the perfect place for intimate concerts with enough capacity, it is totally referential!”.

A LITTLE 'GALEGO' WITH LUIS TOSAR
In our eagerness to investigate we continue to expand the ** Basic Dictionary to defend yourself if you travel to Galicia ** with the help of Luis Tosar. The first expression is: Madia cam! It has many meanings, but it could be translated as 'anyone like that' or when he has too much of something”, he explains. He also warns us that we can often run into ' older ', “we always think there must be something more”. And he could not miss: "there is one that is great, so to everything thank goodness , which is that the way things are, we get by or we're not so bad. And it is used continuously, yes that is purely Galician spirit ”.
