    It's been extremely hot and 13km mostly on tar was hard on the feet.

    Oia

    22 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    After a great lunch of seafood rice we walked into town to see the monastery (ceertainly not to clock up any steps).

    Galician seafood rice is unbelievably rich in flavor, creamy while still maintaining the rice's crispness and brimming with seafood.

    The cold waters off the coast of Galicia are home to a huge variety of mariscos (shellfish). There are a dozen types of clams, oysters and scallops, four or five species of squid and more kinds of shrimp and lobster than you can count.

    All the locals were having a drink in the local pub and just sat on the wall drinking their beer. A great easy lifestyle    Baca lagi

    Santa María de Oia Monastery

    22 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Construction of the Santa María de Oia Monastery, the municipality's main monument, began in the mid-12th century, during the reign of Galician King Alfonso VII. Within its walls gathered monks who previously lived in various parts of the region. In 1185 it joined the Cistercian Order.

    Thanks to its strategic location (right beside the sea), Santa María de Oia played an important role in defending the coast. In 1624 the monks managed to thwart an attack by the Turkish fleet, for which Philip IV granted the monastery the right to use "Royal" in its name. Following the 1835 Disentailment Act it passed into private hands, although the church serves as parish church.

    Sadly today they are changing it into a hotel    Baca lagi

    22 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Between Baiona and A Guarda is Oia, where the coastline stands firm against the force of the ocean. This spectacular sight can be seen from the mountains, where wild horses graze freely.
    The monastery of Santa María la Real is something else Oia town council can boast. It is Romanesque from the 12th century and has a baroque façade put up in the 18th century, during one of a series of alterations. It has been declared a National Monument.Baca lagi

    Crystal Beach

    23 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Our journey this morning started with the most wonderful deaf taxi driver who took us to Crystal Beach to start. He was incredibly kind and caring and really wanted us to start from this special place.

    Sometimes nature decides what to do, and the sea always brings back everything that it is thrown away in it. In this area of Laxe, there used to be a dump where bottles and other items were left. In these cliffs the sea somehow picked up this garbage debris and returned them transformed into art pieces polished by the sea leaving them in this small cove.    Baca lagi

    Baiona

    23 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We walked into Baiona which is a beautiful old town.

    Galician Seafood

    23 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    We decided to do a seafood treat in celebration of our walk.

If you combine the words "food" and "Galicia" it is certain that seafood and dishes with ingredients from the sea, will be the meal of choice in most restaurants throughout this amazing area

    In this community not only fish is eaten, but it is necessary to eat seafood once to live a truly Galician experience.    Baca lagi

    Vigo

    24 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Today we walked into Vigo which was unfortunately not a pretty walk. We walked in through the industrial areas and port and decided to take a taxi to the hotel.

    In the Early Middle Ages, the small village of Vigo was part of the territory of Galician-speaking neighbouring towns, particularly Tui, and suffered several Viking attacks. However, its number of inhabitants was so small that, historically, it was not considered a real villa until around the 15th century, when the earliest records began.

    Vigo grew very rapidly in the 20th century, thanks to the fact that the Franco government granted it a tax-free zone in 1947 allowing companies to be set up there for free, as well as an Industrial Development Pole in 1964, a very unusual case for a non-capital of a Spanish province. Continuous urban-planning changes left Vigo less structured than other Galician cities. — with Daphne Mackay and Jacqui Becker at Vigo, Galicia, España.    Baca lagi

    26 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    A wonderful day spent in the old city of Santiago that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

    It stands out for being one of the three great pilgrimage centers of Christianity , along with Jerusalem and Rome , pointing out the tradition that the apostle Santiago el Mayor was buried there .

    A last day of a holiday brings great emotions. Excitement to see loved ones, sadness our small group will each go their own way, and time to wait for our next adventure.

    We started our day walking to the San Miguel food market.

    More than 100 years have gone by since the Mercado de San Miguel opened its doors as a wholesale food market. Today, this historical building stands out as one of the world’s main gastronomic markets. It allows visitors to experience the essence and most significant flavors of every corner of Spain.
