Slept a better sleep, the sea was calmer or maybe I am getting used to it’s movements and creaks and groans. The day dawned and we entered the port of La Corona in Spain. It’s a busy fishing port which every morning sends fish all over Europe with 150 refrigerated semis sent out every day.
We decided to do a tour to a little medieval village and then tapas at a restaurant. It was fine but have come back to the ship and are going to cancel two future tours we have scheduled. The walk behind the umbrella, listening to the non stop commentary, only occasionally broken by other people’s inane questions and stopping at a restaurant by the bus load to eat tapas ( which should in my head at least, be eaten in little side street bars) long story short – umbrella following is just not us. I have though kept a couple of excursions which get us to where we want to go so watch this space.
Once back from Betanozas we decided to walk into La Corunna, all on our lonesome without following an umbrella. The architecture here is so different after all the colour and tiles of Portugal. The terrace houses are the same heights and levels and shapes but here they are covered in class like little mini glass balconies.
They are are quite stunning. Most are white with the exception of the one above which had a deep blue glass.
The streets were very quiet after the hustle and bustle of Portugal and also it was siesta time so the shops had closed from 2pm until 5 pm. Handy because there seemed to be a lot of shoes calling through the glass and for once plenty of time to browse. I guess that is indicative of La Coruna in that nowhere else has shopping entered the mind, as there has been so much to see and so little time whereas here you seemed to be able to soak it up in a couple of hours.

Our next stop is Balboa and with the when in Rome philosophy we have booked to go to the Guggenheim museum. Unfortunately I have no art of the day but perhaps the above photo can be the art itself.
as today I didn’t have much to say I will tell you things I forgot to say before
things i learned and forgot to say before
Lisbon got completely destroyed in a magnitude 8. something earthquake sometime in the late 1700s then a tidal wave struck. 40,000 people died and the city was then rebuilt uniformly with all the blocks and windows etc exactly the same size. This was quick, efficient and cost effective and then the owner decorated with glass tiles if they had money or painted colours if they didn’t.
La Corunna is the birthplace of Zara stores. 1500 designers live here along with the owner who is the third richest man in the world.
Oporto is where Port originates from.
Until recently Mozambique used to be governed by Portugal.
I also found out The AK47 picture of the boy is called meta- morphis and was done by a graffiti artist who I have forgot his name already. It symbolises that violence is in the very fabric of people not what surrounds them….or something like that.
