We visited the Torre de Hercules in A Coruna, a very difficult place to drive to! The tower is actually an old Roman lighthouse that is the only one in the world that is still standing and continues to function.
It fell into ruin and the stone was used as a quarry but it has now been clad in a new 'outer casing' with the original structure still in place inside.

| Great view from the top |
A very odd lighthouse - Faro de Punta Frouxeira. Built in 1992 with an Avent Guard design. In 2012 it was fitted with an LED lamp and became the first long range lighthouse in Spain.

| Old tunnels nearby |
 |
| Praia da Cristina for a cuppa |
 |
| A very wild location for a church! |
A great find was this ceramics factory at Cervo called Fabrica Ceramica de Sargade. We could tour through the factory ourselves for free - just follow the red line! |
| Beautiful curved building |
 |
| Cafe and Te in their own ceramics |
Most campsites have closed for the season by now so we were left with various Aires, carparks and other spots, some of which are a bit dubious as to whether we are allowed to stay or not. |
| Aire at Tapia Casariego |
Tapia Casariego is where surfing was first born in Spain and also a lovely town with port and lighthouse.
It also has a refreshing outside lido in an old fish farm. |
| Playa de la Concha |
