In Deep Galacian Countryside

Travelling eastwards from the coast we entered into some typical Galician countryside. First however, I think I'll show some pictures of our international party - with people from all over Europe, the Americas, many parts of Asia and, of course, several Australians. In fact, I suspect Australia sent a far greater proportion of its population to Spain than any other nation ... except perhaps for Spain itself!







































En route we saw various rural industries, many abandoned farm-houses, and some scenic countryside. Let's have a look. Many of the pictures are self-explanatory.






























Processing chestnuts on the left ... with some fancy machinery. Quaint and somewhat at heal little villages.































I'm not all sure of the significance and purpose of the guy on the left! More bucolic countryside below.





















At a honey processing establishment on the right, together with some of the produce below.






A glimpse of an irrigation lake on the right.
















 And we visited a community based re-afforestation project - shown on the left.

I much enjoyed seeing this landscape and its industries and lifestyle.
