We are staying at a hotel/castle a 1/2 hour drive from the port city of Vigo. It is actually the first hotel in these six weeks for us. We got placed on the penthouse room with a terrace complete with battlements and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It would be so perfect if we had a little heat.
Laura enjoys the ocean and we're happy we are staying directly in front of the longest beach in the whole area. Of course she cuts my lunch short and challenges me to walk the entire beach. I manage a little more than half before I return to finish my cold lunch. We are directly in front of the Ciel Islands and we would have taken the ferry there if it was the right season.
We also explored some tide pools and some sand turds.
We always end our Camino with helado and I surprised Laura by taking her to a restaurant bearing her name, right on the beach. She chose her dessert with one bearing her name as well.
What a pity that you could not visit the Cies Islands in the end. You'll need to do it next time :)
