Well, we have had a few days of really nice weather, so we spent our time in Redes, a very small village where Raquel's family has a house. It is about 20 steps from the beach and has really nice views of the bay (Ria de Betanzos). The winter here feels like the summers back home, but I have been told that this is not normal for this time of year. I guess we are lucky. We spent our time visiting different beaches along the north coast of Spain, stopping at restaurants along the way to have a coffee or beer, or playing a bit of frisbee. I have been having a few cravings for the food over here, so we had to satisfy those...of couse:
Pulpo (octopus),
Tortilla (Spanish omelette),
Paella (Rice dish with many other things),
El Cafe,
Mariscos (seafood),
Queso de tetilla (cheese),
Empanada (Ask Matt),
Cervezas (Muchas),
Vino (Mucho),
Churros (no translation).
I know I have a lot of cravings, but most of these things we don't have in Canada. I will probably be a little heavier when I get back, or maybe not because the tapa's are very small here.
In the coming weeks we plan to visit more of Raquel's family in a city called Vigo. It is a bit closer to Portugal, but still on the coast. It's supposed to be a good place for surfing and windsurfing, so I hope the water is not too cold.
Take it easy,
Warren
