And so to Day 7

Thus morning we have ridden about 50 miles, to a place called Baiona. It's by the seaside. It has a massive castle, where you can walk the walls but is like a wood inside. Free to enter.  I popped up for a quick look.

This would appear to be the place where in 1493 Spaniards landed, having discovered the Americas the previous year.  That's the gist from google translate I believe. 

In the harbour there is an old galleon (replica) which I'm guessing is the ship bringing home the news.

Weather, is fine, sunnyish. Ride over took us through a very large town, whose name I forget, the biggest since we arrived I'd say.

Checked Ginny's oil here. Seems to be OK but not at all obvious. 

That's all for now.
