More La Coruna

Santiago de Compostela






















Tommy was given a Real Madrid lollypop from the candy store owner who liked his jersey


La Coruna is really a beautiful city.  The Maritime Walk takes you around the whole peninsula right along the coast, never losing sight of the water.  At one spot there is a Roman tower to climb for even more spectacular views.  We have enjoyed incredibly good food, the highlight being Caldo (missed taking a picture,) a broth made with chorizo, ham, beef, chicken, a white bean and grelos, which has no translation but is like turnip greens.  Like the Fabada in Asturias, it will make a phenomenal winter dish to add to our repertoire.  We hit another aquarium, which makes it 6 in Spain.    We had a day trip to Santiago de Compostela where the St. James route ends and is considered an extremely holy site in the Catholic religion.
