Castrexo Pine Forest

Highlight • Forest

It is worth taking a look into the trees, as different Celtic symbols can be recognized from certain angles. An entertaining guessing game.

September 8, 2023,🇪🇸 A Guarda 🌞

From the harbor in A Guarda (or La Guardia, as it is called in Gallego) you walk comfortably along the sea on boardwalks towards Miño, the river bordering Portugal.

On the way there are always small playas to cool off - and the Atlantic is really refreshing 🥶

But the Albariño in our favorite bodega is also really refreshing 😂🥂

Of course I didn't walk the Way of St. James again, but along the coast in a much nicer way. Taking a private taxi boat from the campsite in Caminha is also the shorter way. He's definitely prettier.
