Galicia is beautiful. Small and dainty, very green, very traditional.
I ate octupus, Gallegan soup, ‘tit cheese‘ and Gallegan bread; and octupus, Gallegan soup and tit cheese and Gallegan bread 🙂
Although the sight of octupus (especially it’s tenticles) made me want to throw-up because although it’s dead on your plate, it’s easy to imagine it alive and breathing heavily through it’s ugly pores, I really liked it.
Was in A Coruña for two days, Santiago de Compostela for a day, and Finisterre (the end of the world!) for a day.
Incase you were wondering, there is really nothing ‘at the end of the world’, except a steel boot and a rather ugly lighthouse; but what the hell – it’s the end of the world!
Here are some photos. Stories to follow!
A Coruña – El Costa de Muerte
Old part of A Coruña
Ugliest sculpture I have ever seen
Santiago’s Cathedral
View from the ‘end of the world’!
Hola Abhita,
me alegro que disfrutases de la rapida visita a Galicia pero siento no haber paseado mas tiempo contigo…otra vez sera. Ahora que conoces el camino tienes que volver!!
Dos correcciones: es “La Costa de la Muerte” o en galego “Costa da Morte”. La foto que pusiste de Santiago no es de la Catedral, es un edificio proximo, el Seminario (donde estudian los curas).
un bico (beso en galego)
Vero
madre mia – entonces no creo que vi la catedral! *gasp* debo volver 🙂
besos
