Abstract
Galicia, in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula, was a transit area for the migrating large mammals during the Upper Quaternary. These migrations were produced by the climatic changes that characterize this period. A complete inventory of the localities with Pleistocene and Holocene faunas from Galicia is presented, as well as several considerations about the abiotic factors that conditioned the distribution of them. These factors have been clasified into three: lithologic, eustatic and glacial ones. Only taking into account these factors, the reconstruction of the dynamic of the quaternary large mammals will acquire signification.
