Day 30 – Portomarin – took this picture from the town of Portomarin to show you the reservoir and how it is well below the city. Crazy thing is that the city used to be down at that level. In 1962 they moved the town up the hill! The towns most historic buildings were dismantled stone by stone and reassembled above where the city lies now.

Day 29 – This info is from my guide book: is considered a masterpiece of baroque design; at the height of it’s monastic community, it controlled over 100 churches, 200 towns and 300 other monasteries. Pirates plundered it several times as it was known for it’s wealth. It survived two fires in 1536 and 1951. May 13, 2025 by Patricia M · Published May 13, 2025
