San Andres do Teixido

Carrizos is located a few minutes walk off the camino that runs from Ferrol to San Andres do Teixido just up the road from A Capela da Fame. http://www.valdovino.com/comun/SUB-PAGINAS/sanandres.html We have enjoyed walking from the house to San Andres but I did not have a lot of time to spare today so after a busy day back at work and a few hours house sorting I decided to drive there. San Andres is about a 20 minutes my car, its not far just is a winding slow road but passes through some lovely scenery with cows...

 ...and with flowers...

... and rocks and trees.

The cliffs a little further on are the highest sea cliffs in Europe, they are plenty high enough just here but fitting in time to continue round on the road round to Cabo Ortegal is also well worth a trip.

If you don't visit in your lifetime you will visit after death is the thing people say about it, I am not quite sure what that signifies. Here is the info in Gallego.

San Andres is the little cluster of buildings down in the distance tucked snugly into the cliffside, it is almost as important as the Cathedral at Santiago de Compostella. There is a lovely walk down from the cliff top car park or you can park down at the bottom.

With a bit of a zoom you can see the famous church and where the stalls usually are, there is usually some tacky tourist stuff for sale but there is also some lovely local honey. It was quiet today but can be heaving if you visit on the wrong day.

Behind me the hills were doing soft curvy things.

At my feet the squill is flowering and there is a lemony scent in the air to go with its parma violet one.

These little things are lovely a circle of hearts with a star in the middle ahhhh.

I stopped in at Cedeira on the way back for some shopping and timed the drive past Vilarrube just right as the sun set over the estuary at low tide
