My last journey: Galicia

Last year I went to Galicia with my girlfriend.

I had to drive long time, for about 10 or 11 hours. We live in Alicante, east of Spain, and Galicia is in the north west of Spain, so we had to drive one thousand kilometers. Summer in Alicante is so hot that I barely can sleep at night. It's horrible. I had two weeks off last summer, so we decided to go (someplace cooler) to a colder place .

Furthermore, Galicia is freaking beautiful (amazing). There is a lot of nature there. You can see green everywhere, and people tend to be very kindly and friendly (obviously, there are bad people everywhere).

We started our trip in Vigo, just/simply because we wanted to go to Cie Island (Las islas Cie). In 2007, the British newspaper The Guardian choose Rodas beach (La playa de las Rodas), which is located on the Cie Island, the best beach in the world. You just have to take a look at the photo I''ve attached here just to know/understand why it was chosen the best beach in the world.

I remember that I tried to have a swim, but the water was too cold. The second time I tried, I could only  stand on the water just for 30 seconds ;)

Then we went sightseeing in Vigo. I didn't like Vigo, maybe because I was very tired after a whole day of walking on the island.

Our trip was divided into three parts, Vigo and Cies was the first one. I will tell you more about my trip to Galicia in my next two writings.
