42:36.088N 8:46.141W Either the fog lifted or the cloud disappeared - difficult to tell which! We had a good passage by motor and genny with a bit of unsuccessful fishing, round to Vilagarcia. ![]() The rocks here are unmarked by any sort of cardinal marks - probably because there are so many! ![]() There are lots of lobster pots too - marked with a couple of plastic bottles on ropes lying on the water - impossible to see in a swell, or at night. ![]() The lighthouses are very elegant. As it was due to rain all day today we decided to go into the Marina and take the train to Santiago de Compostela - not realising that it was Galicia Day, (We had purposely avoided St James’ Day last week) the town was full and we had to queue to enter the Cathedral, where a wedding was taking place. ![]() The locals were dressed to kill, and Galicia is full of bagpipes! There was a vintage car rally in the main square. ![]() The main altar with the statue of St. James is so ornate, with angels rising into the heavens, all with gilded wings. ![]() |
