The economy of Galicia
In recent years the distance has grown between the interior provinces (which are less developed) and the coastal provinces, especially those regions situated along the axis of the A-9 Highway. The two major economic poles are La Coruña and Vigo, with La Coruña in the lead, producing an estimated 33.2% of VAT receipts against 24.3% from Vigo.[1] A third economic center is Santiago de Compostela. Other important cities are Ferrol and Pontevedra.
Due to the economic growth experienced in recent years, companies like BluSens are headquartered in Galicia.
There is also a growing economic sector in Fair Trade and alternative economy, led by organizations like Association for Equal and Fair Trade Pangaea or Árbore.
