Casa das Artes

This is a lovely city and much more civilized than Porto. It feels more comfortable for me to be in Spain rather than Portugal.
There were lots of references to Galicia on adds and in magazines so they show off their cultural heritage too. The accents are tough to understand.
The bus journey out to the airport was a laugh. packed in like sardines, people yelling at the driver. One woman said he was " un bruto" because of how he was driving, which was like a rally car race. I was holding on tight.
I got all disoriented about the time switch and really could not remember if I was to go ahead or back, so I did neither and showed up at the airport thinking I had too much time to kill but no, I had to go straight to the gate. I am really glad I did not know it was that close or the bus would have been less fun and more stress.
