The End

This was my original plan.

I wanted to go all the way to San Andrés de Texeido. But, of course, it wasn't going to be. Still, after A Coruña, there was just about enough time to head somewhere else and so, I programmed in Playa de Santa Comba.

To tell you the truth, I was getting a wee bit nervous when I was sent turning left and right and heading further and further from civilisation, no signs, no nothing... and the roads were getting narrower and narrower...then, out of the blue, the sea loomed before us, turquoise and wild, the surroundings, practically deserted. Practically, but not quite. There were a couple of caravans, no-one in the sea (quite wisely), though there was a lone fisherman down by the rocks, and, in the distance, the solitary hermitage of Santa Comba, apparently currently almost inaccessible.

Stairway to heaven

Santa Comba beach

The cliffs, the waves, the hermitage...the isolation of this place, a place for one to sit and watch the wonders of nature at play, to hear the sounds of the waves hitting the rocks and nothing else, not even seagulls...

A fitting finale to this journey, from Bilbao to A Coruña, I'd say. Hope you've enjoyed travelling with me!

Best coffee in the north of Spain!

By the time I got back to Santiago, it was evening, or perhaps not. If it'd been evening I would probably not have wanted coffee, but I did...

Walked past a few and chose San Jacobus on Rúa do Preguntoiro. My instinct was good. I'd been terribly disappointed with all the coffee I'd had during the whole of this trip, but the one here was perfect! The right temperature, the perfect strength, the ideal (for me) balance of coffee and milk... Even the churros were good! The hot chocolate was very good, too. Thick but not so thick you'd need a spoon to drink it with.

If you're looking for a good cup of coffee, this is definitely the one I'll recommend!

In spite of it being about half past eight or so, there was still a fair amount of light and the sun wasn't setting yet. This was the only day that it hadn't rained since we arrived, so I decided to see what I can shoot around the streets of Santiago. I may just have to open the aperture all the way and/or crank up the ISO, I thought.

Just me, my camera and I...

Sans commentaire... Well, maybe just some captions. ;-)

An ice cream man without ice cream?

Well, well, well, the ice cream man has found himself an audience!
