I visited Galicia<\/a> recently. It was a great trip and with better company!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main goal was to visit Santiago de Compostela Cathedral<\/a>. And we spent nearly a full day seeing it inside, outside, in the roofs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing Santiago Apostol from roof<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is a building with a very rich history starting from a Romanesque foundation to several changes of style in the next centuries. The most impressive part was the “Portico de la Gloria”. I didn’t have much idea about the actual setup of the Cathedral as I thought the external facade would be the most important part. The “Portico” is indoors and you can only see it with a tour. But it is worth it. It is a piece of 12th century and has been under restoration<\/a> for 10 years: the colors, figures and setup are really impressive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited Combarro<\/a> and Islas Cies<\/a>. Really beautiful places. We were lucky at the end in Cies and we could trek the whole island. Pity we couldn’t have a swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And by luck, we stopped in Bueu<\/a>, and saw dolphins! from a very nice terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And food wise, very important in Galicia, I tried “arroz negro<\/a>” with just squid and its ink. Definitely I need to try at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing we discovered was “pan de maiz<\/a>“, really tasty! I need to try the recipe<\/a> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing we visited and really without planning was the “Monasterio de Armenteira<\/a>” It was a very peaceful place. We couldnt visit the church due to Covid restrictions but we could walk in the claustro that was nice too. And by the way we discovered a very nice trekking route that we couldn’t do due to time constraints. It was beautiful, very green, following a river and with several water mills in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So very good trip and as usual, with the best company. Can’t ask for more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
