“Our adventure to La Coruña began bright and early leaving the majestic city of Santiago de Compostela behind. We had an entire day on the Costa da Morte (Galician: the Coast of Death) a mix of lush forests and mountain ranges which received its name because there have been so many shipwrecks along its treacherous rocky shore over the last ten centuries. The weather was a bit foggy but sure enough upon arriving to our first destination the sun was shining brighter than ever. Our first stop of day was in Muros a harbor town with unique architecture and rich culture. We were able to stop for a bit and enjoy the gorgeous beach that was only a few steps away. The proximity of these towns made our entire day a scenic one which made it irresistible to take a picture of every towns unique style. One place that stood out to me the most was Fisterra. It was hard to resist not going to the farthest point of Fisterra knowing that throughout history and since the Roman times it was known as “Finis Terrae” (End of the Land) literally the end of the World as they knew it. This was also the farthest Western point of the Roman empire.
Midway into our trip we stopped at a local restaurant and were greeted with a warm welcome. Its home-style atmosphere made the restaurant very special and we were all excited for the many dishes available. Once the food arrived the portions sizes and incredible taste made the meal seem like a Feast! The food was delicious and just as we were finishing our amazing food, it was time for dessert! After the feast we continued on with our scenic road trip and arrived at el Castillo de Vimianzo. Where we had the opportunity to walk inside and climb the highest point of the castle. Inside the castle there were many vendors making beautiful art pieces right in front of our eyes. Besides the many beaches we were able to see during the day this castle was a beautiful place to visit before our arrival to the place we would call home for the next few days, La Coruña.”
