The sun has been shinning! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
A few weekends ago I traveled to Ourense, a city in the south of the province of Galicia. It is warmer during the day there than in A Coruña. We had beautiful weather! The sky was clear, the sun was warm, and the company couldn't have been better. I traveled with my friends Adam, Aneta, Dorien, and Reuben. We spent the morning exploring the city. We stopped for a picnic a long the river. It was a perfect meal: cheese, wine, bread, trail mix, and apples.
After lunch we were in search of the hot springs. We found a public hot spring along the river, quickly changed, and were in the water. We lounged around changing from pool to pool and Reuben and I even waded into the river, which was freezing!
After the hot springs we traveled to a near by town called Ribadavia. We wandered the winding streets of this valley town and then were in search of tapas for dinner. Every place we stopped in told us their kitchen was closed until 8pm. We stopped at a pizza place that we had seen earlier and they told us the same, but we were tired from a hard day of lounging and wandering the cities, so we stopped for a glass of local wine. As a gift for buying wine they gave us each a pintxo, a fancy tapa. Sweet! We finished the wine and by then it was 8pm, so we decided to stay and try the pizza. It was the best pizza I have had in Spain! Such a good choice. We all ordered a different individual pizza and exchanged slices.
Tired and full we headed home to A Coruña, about a two hour drive. A pleasant day trip!
