[Abstract] Galicia, in theNWofthe Iberian Peninsula, was a transit area for the migrating large mammals during the Upper Quaternary. These migrations were praduced by the c1imatic changes that characterize this periodo A complete inventory of the localities with Pleistocene and Holocene faunas fram Galicia is presented, as well as several considerations about the abiotic factors that conditioned the distribution of them. These factors have been c1asified into three: lithologic, eustatic andglacial ones. Only taking into account these factors, the reconstruction of the dynamic of the quaternary large mammals will acquire signification
