WELCOME TO PHOTO PORTAL 5: EXPLORING NORTHERN SPAIN (THE GALICIA REGION)
Peg and Tom explore the NW Coast of Spain below Cape Finestierre. The Spanish refer to this general area as "Galicia". These pics were taken along the Ria (river) de Muro and another river south of the Cape. Tom indicated that the area reminds him of Maine--granite rocks, pine trees, cooler weather, and some fog.
