Since my pictures seem to be popular, here are some more smile

After Porto, we went to Galicia, a lovely region. I was sooo happy to get away from all those churches and convents and to see a bit of nature.

Vineyards by the sea:


Not one of my habits, but this is where we spent a day on the beach. Despite being fully clothed in hiking gear and hat (slightly conspicuous between bathing suit clad people), I still managed to get sunburnt... A lovely beach though:


Another view of the sea, with pontoons where they grow (delicious) mussels, oysters, etc.:


And then a lovely sunset, picture postcard beautiful:


After Galicia, we passed through Santiago de Compostella. Abysmal weather and way too many tourists, which is why I let BF handle the photography here:







After that we headed for the mountains, for more nature. To be continued smile
