Rias Baixas 2 (Spain)

A pleasure to stroll the lanes and plazas of Pontevedra's old town, even in the rain

Lion post boxes; pink lionesses

Combarro, a picturesque fishing village with a medieval old quarter
 
Bronze Age rock carvings, somehow preserved despite 4000 years of Galician rain and sunshine

Horreos

 
Sand dunes up to 20 feet tall at Corrubado, Rias Arousa. Sadly, it's been deemed illegal to roll down them

Fortunately, we found some wild, boulder-strewn beaches nearby, with a dolphin (watched here by E and D) fishing just metres offshore

    1. It was wonderful, Mum - you and Dad would have loved it. Except you can't get a good cappuccino in Spain! x
