It was another epic journey to the Iberian peninsula, which gave me beautiful landscapes, pleasant and interesting meeting, and top level windsurfing sessions. And that made me even more an Ocean addicted.....

 

Windsurfing, travels: Galicia-Portugal, summer 2023

 

By now, it's becoming an addiction that I can't do without... I'm in love with the atmospheres and landscapes of northern Spain. And this year, I also discovered magical places in Portugal. The attraction is so strong that the idea of returning to Oman has been swept away.

I drove another 5400 km by car. Many will think I am crazy. But for me, the journey, mental even before physical, begins as soon as I leave the west ring road of Milan, even if the construction sites in Ligurian highway, this time too, made me suffer (and in fact, from now on I will always spend both on the outward and return journeys from the Susa valley and its passes).

I left on the evening of 26 June, and the following evening, having covered the first 1000 km, I stopped off shortly after Toulouse. The next day, I entered Spain, immediately with a stop for lunch in the beautiful Playa La Franca, in Asturias. Before dinner, on the 28th, I arrived at the Camping Lago-Mar, near Muxia, in Galicia. And it was the first pleasant discovery of this new trip. The campsite is small, but clean and nice, well managed by friendly young people. And it overlooks the sheltered Playa do Lago, with a lovely landscape all around (click here, to enjoy the whole slidegallery of the travel).

 

 

 

 

I had a nice shower in the public toilets, spotlessly clean, and I got ready for the octopus-based dinner, which I had at the "100 Pratus White Sand Club", after the many camping dinners (where, however, I didn't miss som pasta with sardines, and other Italian recipes).

After dinner, I enjoyed the last sunset over the ocean, walking by the sea.

The return journey began the next day (about 2100 km) and went smoothly, except for a bit of confusion in southern France (if there hadn't been traffic on the state road to Briancon, I would have done Montgenevre instead of Frejus) .

Once again, the journey deposited very pleasant images and memories in me, before the tasks of daily life caught me up again. But that's okay, I'm not going to complain.

See you in the next adventure. Fabio
