Galicia on path to recovery from ‘Australia-like’ wildfires

Galicia's wine region got absolutely hammered by wildfires last August – the worst in years – with producers like Trasdovento losing entire vineyard blocks and others having to abandon harvests. The real issue is that climate change is making a traditionally wet region dangerously hot and dry in summer, and rural depopulation means less managed land to act as firebreaks, so it's looking like a growing headache for Spanish winemakers going forward.
