After spending the first half of the weekend in
Salamanca, I continued on to Galicia. I will let the pictures do most of the talking for this one:
Santiago de Compostela:
 |
| The Cathedral: this marks the end of the Camino de Santiago routes |
 |
| Sometimes in Spain, you stubble upon random performances in the middle of a street or plaza. |
 |
| One of the cute streets. Lots of buildings here were made of stone or white with tan trim. |
 |
| There were lots of parks in Galicia, especially in Santiago de Compostela. |
La Coruña (or A Coruña in the local dialect, Galego):
 |
One of the first parks I stumbled upon ...Did I mention how sunny it happened to be
during my visit? :) |
 |
La Coruña was beautiful! It was only a day trip before taking a bus from there to Extremadura,
but I wish I could have spent more time in this city!
|
 |
Tower of Hercules- The trail leading up to the tower had some great views of both the city
and the ocean. Unfortunately the tower itself was closed; it would have been neat to see
everything from higher up!
|
 |
This is one of the lovely views of the city I was just talking about.
|
This region is also known for their seafood, especially the pulpo, so I made sure to sample some before I left. Galicia is a really interesting part of Spain, and I am very glad I was able to enjoy some time there!
