Spanish in Galicia

Should I know anything specific about the "Galician Spanish" peculiarities? I am planning to stay there for a while, therefore it would be nice if native ones understood "my" Spanish. No Galego studies in my plans. Thank you in advance.

Galician (in Spanish "Gallego") is close to Spanish. It comes from the Latin language as well. Everybody in Galicia understands Spanish (or Castilian - Castellano). Almost a 90% of the people can speak Spanish, specially in urban areas. Don't be afraid, you'll be understood.
