Top contributor and Drone Video Award Finalist ZilverSchmitz used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this marvelous aerial tour of Galicia, the northwesternmost region of Spain.  One look at a map will suggest that this is a very distinctive region - its border with Portugal (to the south) is as long as its borders with fellow Spanish regions, and its coastline is longer than all of its land borders combined.  The video features footage of the country's long coastline as well as some of its cities and towns, including the city of A Coruna.

The western coast of Spain's Galicia region has a series of four inlets known as rias.  Sometimes confused with fjords (which they resemble when seen on a map), rias are valleys that become submerged due to changing sea levels.  The northernmost of the four Galician rias is called Ria de Muros y Noya.  Seen here in this drone video by contributor mlarino, it's located just south of the treacherous Coast of Death (Costa Muerta).  With only the municipality of Muros and a few smaller town on its shores, it's the most remote of the four rias.
