Hello Friends,
We just came back from a wonderful
holiday in Greece during which we were not able to be very active on
the blog due to problems with the wifi connection, which in the
Ionian islands seemed to be a luxury! Anyway with this post we want
to end our tour in Galicia showing you some corners of some hidden
but typical towns in the inland of Lugo that we visited on our last day there since it was cold and we couldn't go to the beach.
Mondonedo
This small town that seems lost in the
hills of Galicia, now almost uninhabited, was one of the capitals of
the kingdom of Galicia. It's past as a major city can be seen in the
majesty of the buildings of the center with medieval-style
architecture. In this scene, the Cathedral (Basilica from Asuncion)
is undoubtedly the first to capture the attention. It was built in
the 13th century in Romanesque style but influenced over time by the
Gothic and Baroque period.
Lourenzà
Lourenzà is a pretty town in the region
of Central Marina, part of the French route to Santiago de
Compostela. To catch the eye is the Benedictine monastery founded in
the 10th century by Count Don Osorio Gutierrez, the children of whom
(Lourenza and Ana) gave the name to the town. The current structure
is typically Baroque, designed by the same architect of the cathedral
of Santiago.
Fervieza San Estevo do Ermo (Aguas
Santas)
Halfway between Mondonedo and Lourenza,
you can yourself immersed in a green oasis, where you can see a small
waterfall. A little hard to find for the lack of directions, but
however, deserves a short visit maybe to refuge from the hot summer
days maybe for a picnic as the locals often do.
Foz and St. Martin de Mondenedo
Foz is a fishing village on the
Atlantic coast full of restaurants ran by families of fishermen who
guarantee the quality and freshness of a great fish. A few miles
inland, you can admire the small but majestic church of St. Martin de
Mondonedo.
Barreiros
This town marks the border with the
region of Asturias and is a famous urban center in Spain for seafood
(you can find endless small restaurants in the area of the
small port). It is a fantastic destination for lovers of handmade
accessories. Orjola had the opportunity to buy many bracelets made
with colored shells.
A kiss to all of you and we will update
you very soon on our trip in the islands of the Ionian Sea! Remember
to follow us on all the social networks to stay up to date!
Love,
Jola and Dimitri
