Beautiful scenery, chestnut and fruit trees amongst vineyards and dahlias

Through the vineyards, so thirsty by the time we found a fountain....

Galicia is beautiful

Not all my pictures are coming through, but this area of Spain is so beautiful, our walks have been predominantly through gorgeous vineyards and what seems like miles and miles of fruit and chestnut trees. Today, we took a cab to an area outside the path a little bit to visit the waterfall at Barro. On the way over, we were talking with our cab driver, a local, about the lifestyle here in this area. He was pointing out the different areas of interest and landmarks, local wine culture and when we talked about food, I asked whether there were many vegetarians in this area. ¨¨Que va!¨¨ he said dramatically, then proceeded to tell us how a person cannot really work hard or survive well on a side dish, otherwise known as salad....
