I have stopped greeting Spanish men on my walks as they seem to think I'm trying to pick them up! But really, I'm only trying to pick up the really good looking ones... No, I know only greet couples, but that can also be dodgy...

This small beautiful village is our last stop before Portugal and a big favourite. I'm not so sure I'd like to be here in summer, when like so many seaside towns, thousands of tourists descend on it. We love the peacefulness of miles of promenade and almost no-one...

I looked up La Redondela on wiki, but it's all in Spanish. How strange is that!? I used Google Translate to translate it, but it's about as understandable as the Spanish. There is a lot of talk about the population in the 1400's and should this be massively interesting to you...you are so sad!

This is a sweet little church near the fishing boats and there's a sweet coffee place/restaurant right on the beach there too. Top right in the photo there is some very clean washing to be seen...
