Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain. Segundo dia.

As there were so many photos from this incredible part of the world, it ended up being divided into two. Here is the second part. A winery tour and a world of food, surprised? I didn't think so.

Windy roads, rivers and trails.

More twists and turns

Or a coloured version

The true stars of the valley.

Some other locals.

I may have borrowed these....

Albarino being made.



We stopped off for a tasting at Adega Vella a small family run winery in an unexpected setting.

Yes, it is right next to the town's cemetery.

On the recommendation of the winery family, we went to a local restaurant Meson Casa Lelo. It was fantastic! Like this fabada, which I couldn't stop spooning ladles of into my plate.
Some Razor clams.

A version of so bucco.
Some grilled fish. All was washed down with some delicious cooled local red and sparkling water.

Crossing the Sil again, and leaving Galicia for Castilla y Leon, the largest state of Spain.


The scenes remained the same, cliff faces covered by vines and the river poking up on occasions. 
But we are still on the camino.
Onwards into the dry interior we go!

Trip to Wedel, like a greedy school kid.

Every year in December Wedel, the most famous Polish chocolate company, has an open day. You have to book in quick as tickets vanish in seconds on the internet.We got in the second it opened online and had to get the third time we wanted! It is that popular. But I do recommend it.

because you get samples

of all sorts

even new things. like this watermelon flavoured chocolate.

Not everyone likes chocolate on the weekends.


Chocolate on the move


boxed up for the masses

And wrapped for transport.

These guys
make cool things

bears too

Frogs and elephants

Even the board room table has the company symbol built into it.

And the light fixtures

It is always chocolate time on this clock.


The arrow points to where all the chocolate went.... in me.

There is also chocolate art

Balerinki

Everything in this display is chocolate.... except the woman.



Even though it was Decemeber we could still walk outside.
And headed into Nowy Swiat where the Christmas decorations were going up.

with a small army




Everyone seems to be happy.
