  • The ancient Celtic village of Santa Tecla looks down on the modern city of A Garda in the far southwest tip of Galicia.  Uncovered during road building in the 1930's the wonderfully preserved village dates from some 2500 years ago.  Remarkably the thatched roofed houses here are almost exactly like the houses you see in use today in O Cebreiro or Piornedo.  One of the most stunning locations I saw in all of Galicia.

  • Orreos line the seafront of Combarro near Pontevedra.  Orreos (or horreos) are graneries, unique to Galicia.  Built on stone pillars the flat stones are designed to keep rats and other vermin from getting at the grain.  Orreos are ubiquitous in Galicia, each house having their own.  Now they are an icon and many houses have a decorative orreo in the yard, sometimes even miniature garden versions of no practical use.

  • At the market in Santiago de Compostela, perhaps the best in Galicia.  Inside are regular sellers while outside the "peasants" set up wherever they can.  Great food, great people.<br />

  • The great hat shop of Santiago is Modas (or Sombrereria Iglesias) on the Rua Vilar.  The lady's father founded the shop and they sell only hats made in Spain.  The boxes, however, came from England, they best they could find.  <br />

  • Like the medieval band of troubadors from which it is descended Tuna de Derecho of Santiago de Compostela gathers at a tavern in a little plaza after their nightly performance to continue their singing, now just for fun.   The gathering finally broke  up at 3:00 AM.   Made up of university students, the Tuna, sings for donations to help them pay for their studies.  Often racey and very suggestive, the singers are nothing if not charming.  Must see in Santiago.

  • Galician pipers "Gaiterus" play for the wedding reception at the Parador "Hostal Dos Reis Católicos" in Santiago.  Here they were play from the balcony above the courtyard.
