Padron is a fun place to go. On sundays, the entire city turns into a flea market called the Feria de Padron. It is like the rastro in Madrid. But smaller and more rural. Some weekends there are antique dealers. You can buy fruits, clothes, shoes, housewares, tools, plants, cheese, vegetables… There is a restaurant for pulpos y churrasco.
The cathedral here overlooks the city and the feria.
This is a short and easy hike with nice views. Not a lot to say about it. I was only out for two to three hours round trip. But it was a pleasant visit if you’re in the area. If you are interested in the route, you can see it on Strava.
This was a fun hike. You can choose your difficulty level and end up at Monasterio de Caaveiro. If you are interested in my route, you can see it on Strava.
On one side of the river, there is a paved road running near to the monastery. You can drive most of the way, or walk here on even terrain. On the other there is a hiking trail that follows the rivers with small waterfalls all along the route.
The río Eume is a striking shade of blue. If I understood correctly, there are some restrictions to swimming here due to a unique ecosystem. It is not a warm day for swimming, so it isn’t hard to resist the temptation.
So many little waterfalls everywhere.
There are ruins to explore along the way as well. This roman bridge appears at the Ruínas do Muíño de Sesín.

Merry Christmas from Benicàssim! It’s a lovely day for walking barefoot on the beach.
After living here more than 6 months, we decided to make the rooftop tour of the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. The tour was in galician, so I understood nothing. I did not think to ask for English. But it was a lovely time and only 12 euros per person.
