We land the dingy on the slip in Aldan and follow Liam’s recommendation to head straight to the Iglesias Bakery. We have a fantastic carb-tastic breakfast. We call a taxi and are off into the hills to find Monte do Facho following Maggie and Paul’s recommendation. We get dropped off where the road ends at a beautiful viewing point and follow the path through wooded hills . Along the way we explore ancient carvings and old settlements including ones that are nearly 3000 years old. When we reach the top and emerge from the woods there is an old Roman watchtower and panoramic views. We can see the Islas Cies which is exciting as that is to be our next stop. We descend again on the ancient road, passing old stone walls and oak trees, it feels like the setting of Lord of the rings. The final recommendation for the day is from Maggie and Paul and we are delighted, as it brings us to Caracole Restaurant just at the end of the Monte do Facho walk for delicious tapas.Read more
