Being
on a “news haunting”, Spain seemed to be the perfect destination. And so it
was. Galicia (North-West region of Spain) welcomed us with open arms and
delighted our hearts with its wonderful culture and various monuments full of
history.
The
monument that impressed me the most was the “Torre de Hercules”: an impressive
building which is 55 meters high and 20 centuries old. The legend says that the
legendary Greek Hercules fought a battle for 3 days and 3 nights and then he
buried his opponent's head. It is said that in that exact place was built the
tower. The view of the surroundings, especially of the spectacular ocean, is
wonderful.
Another
impressive monument was the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, which was
built on the grave of St. James the Great (St. Santiago). The legend of this place says that after
Santiago's death, his body was lost at sea during a storm, later being found on
the shore, covered with shells. That’s why the pilgrims’ symbol is a shell.
In
a nutshell, Galicia is great and it is worth being visited. During my stay
there, I learnt so many things about this region, about its landmarks, about
its culture. But, the most important thing, I met some new people, European
citizens, wonderful people who made me feel like home: I was a European amongst
Europeans!
