The webcam is located in Abkhazia, on the territory of the city of Gala.
The broadcast is conducted in real time and in excellent quality. There is a good overview of the area.
Most tourists visiting Abkhazia avoid the city of Gal. And those who sell tours ambiguously hint that it is not worth visiting even if you really want to.
But you can see the city at any time online using Gala webcams.
The city is located on the eastern side of Abkhazia, on the border with Georgia. Georgia belongs to a number of countries that do not recognize Abkhazia as a separate state and believe that Russia has occupied this territory. Of course, the situation is complex and controversial. There are no fortifications and armor at the entrance to Georgia from Abkhazia, so the country shows that it does not consider this border legal. But the entrance to Abkhazia from the Georgian side has been strengthened to the maximum. Inspections here are strict, interrogations are being conducted about intentions to visit the country. You can see the checkpoints online using Gala webcams.
In fact, Gal is quite a picturesque town. It's just that visiting it is not included in the plans of vacationers because of the conflict between Abkhazia and Georgia, the situation in the city is quite tense because of this. The city is inhabited by military and border guards, mostly armed. In such an environment, it is difficult to relax and enjoy the sights. Also, Gal is famous for problems with communications, so flying wi-fi is not found there.
You can look at the city online using Gala webcams.
Local residents also do not linger in the city - there are no good jobs and prospects for development. In the region, the economy is in decline, so young people leave as soon as the opportunity arises. There is no modern infrastructure in the city itself, as you can see by looking at Gala's webcams.
The swine flu epidemic that occurred 13 years ago is still not forgotten. Then a huge number of livestock died, and farmers went bankrupt. Since then, agriculture has not been restored, and this negatively affects the standard of living of the indigenous population.
So you can visit Gala, but if only the expectation from tourism is not relaxing on a paradise beach among green palm trees. Gala is an ambiguous place, but this kind of territory also attracts a lot of curious spectators.
At the moment, this is a dying city, where no one will experience the joy of happy tourists. Here you need to be careful and, if possible, really choose more friendly corners of Abkhazia for relaxation.
