Catoira is a very small town located along río Ulla in Galicia, Spain. Despite a population of only 3,500 people it is dubbed an international tourist interest. In August, there is a viking festival. I will come again to Catoira to see it and share the photos here. But this day, I visit only the ruins and beautiful parks.
These are the ruins of Torres do Oeste, built to protect Santiago de Compostela from invading vikings.
This is where the ships will descend upon Catoira in a few weeks time and actors will recreate the scene. For now, there are no vikingas, but preparations are underway. And the jellyfish have come to explore.
The city is so small. There is a train station with no attendant, an old church, and a few homes of course.
There is also a walking path that follows the river and leads to the beach near of Torres do Oeste.
