 St James day is on the 25 July (Tuesday) and the proximity of Santiago de Compostela means that everywhere is fiesta time.
A Corona started last Thursday and the whole of the old city and the main squares were full of stalls and activities, mostly in the evening. Food and drink seemed to feature well!


The stalls, probably over a hundred, sold anything from beads, soap , honey, leather goods, silver charms etc and clothing. You name it they had it !
We had calamari followed by ribs from the BBQ
There was none “spare” !
…and we even bought a piece of chocolate cake for the next day’s passage to Corme.  Sorry it will not keep for "you know who you are” !
We left Coruna the following morning having delayed by 24 hours because of strong westerly winds, a good decision, and rounded the Torre de Hercules which is the oldest continually used lighthouse in the world.
