Local Specialties


In our two days, we tried Galician wine, Tarta de Santiago, octopus, and queso de tetilla, named for its breast-like shape.

Fisterre


We arrived at the last town on the coast of death, which is of course the end of the earth. So he hiked the trail of San Guillermo because we were told this would be the best view. It was a much harder hike than anticipated. The mountain tried many forces of nature to expel us but we made it to the top.

Elaborate storage sheds?


Along the coast of death, almost every single little house had one of these beautiful old stone boxes on the side of their garden. Our guesses started with tombs or shines (because some have crosses) and then we thought hen houses but they’re on stilts. Storage shed seems to be the only logical option but they’re so ornate. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Costa de Morte


Saturday morning we traveled to the Coast of Death to visit the end of the world. We passed many little fishing towns and some Irish looking countryside but it definitely looked like the coast of death.

Sunset over Santiago


By the way, my camera is repaired but ever since it came back from the Cannon factory, all pictures without flash are sepia tone. But it takes pictures so I’m not complaining.
