Love Italian food? Your heart does too. ❤️🇮🇹

The Mediterranean diet (think olive oil, fresh veg, seafood, and legumes) is so good for us that UNESCO named it an Intangible Cultural Heritage. 🏛️

[2/2] Santiago de Compostela. Mercado de Abastos is the city’s main market, offering fresh seafood (📷1), produce, & tapas—if you’re not too early! The old town includes examples of a classic feature of northern Spanish architecture called a “galería” (📷2); these enclosed balconies are especially common in Galicia & provide a “glass skin” that shields the home from rain & wind while providing passive solar heating & extra usable space (plants, laundry drying, etc.). Parque da Alameda is a green space close to the old town & offers an elevated perspective of the cathedral skyline (📷3). We visited Museo do Pobo Galego, a former convent that exhibits artefacts from traditional Galician life; it features an unusual staircase with 3 spiralling paths that end abruptly at different doors (📷4). The baroque Monastery of San Martín Pinario near the cathedral is said to have ornate interiors; it was closed to visitors.

[1/2] Santiago de Compostela. Christian pilgrims flock to the city’s cathedral (📷1), built 1075–1211 CE & with later additions, to visit the tomb of the apostle Saint James the Great. Although said to have died in Jerusalem in 44 CE, medieval legend holds that his followers, guided by divine intervention, brought his body to Galicia. Some pilgrims walk the Camino de Santiago, a network of interlinked routes converging here from across much of Europe—as symbolised by the scallop shell. A unique feature of the cathedral’s nave, the “Botafumeiro” is a large silver censer (incense container) that is swung across the transept during special services (📷2). The cathedral fronts onto to Praza do Obradoiro, a grand square surrounded by other historic buildings including Pazo de Raxoi | the neoclassical town hall (📷3) & Hostal dos Reis Católicos, a luxury hotel once a 15th C. pilgrims hospital (📷4). The medieval historic center of town is a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site.

The 55m Torre de Hércules | Tower of Hercules (📷1&2) at A Coruña was built during the 1st C. CE, during the reign of Emperor Trajan, & is UNESCO-listed as the oldest surviving Roman lighthouse. It’s still in use today, making it the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world: that’s *two thousand years* of continuous maritime safety service! It underwent major restoration in the 18th C. (reflected in the current neoclassical shell) & until the 20th C. was known as Farum Brigantium. You can ordinarily climb the spiral staircase within the Roman core; it was closed for renovation during our visit. On the adjacent granite headland are even older relics: the Petroglifos de Punta Herminia are a group of prehistoric rock carvings dated to 2500–1800 BCE. They’re very weathered/ hard to make out, so not as photogenic as the Atlantic surf smashing onto the rocks below (📷3). Onwards to O Ézaro, where we admired the dramatic rocky landscape surrounding the Río Xallas (📷4). This reflects a very old granite core formed ~300M years ago, & very lengthy erosion causing large fractures, rounded domes, sheer cliffs & boulder formations.
