Galicia

Oh Galicia! If you have been there, you know and if you haven't, you need to go!
Like a fine wine or a great beer, Galicia is best taken in slowly. We get off and walk even when its ridable. I have never been to such a place
The trails in the woods are deep leading to Santiago. Millions of Pilgrims and thousands of cows over hundreds of years have walked these trails. Deep and covered from the sun, damp and cool and safe from the heat of the day. Moss and Ivy covered rock walls. Ancient Chestnut trees, huge and topped with many more growing in the place where others were once removed from the same stump.
The stone buildings are amazing, Whole villages of granite. Slate topped rock wall everywhere you look surrounded by huge rock walls! It has to be seen in person to be believed! People who have been there smile and nod when they hear the name.Oh Galicia!
Here are some of the photos:
