Galicia, Spain - A welcomed surprise of natural beauty!


Upon completing our Camino across Spain, we met Nelson's family in Santiago as we began to explore the region of Galicia. We didn't know much about it upon visiting but one of Nelson's parents' friends was a local and gave us the royal tour. We truly enjoyed our time here with family and were amazed by the beauty in a 'new to us' region of Spain. The natural beauty of the ocean cliffs is reminiscent of those in Ireland, as it is right across the pond. Galicia was also a Celtic settlement at one point. 

Enjoy some pictures of our treasured time with family in Spain.
