Summer Solstice 2009
Vigo and Tui Casa dos Mouros, Candeán, Vigo A dolmen on a small piece of land in the middle of a housing estate. It took us ages to find, and the path is quite overgrown with bracken, but it was well worth the trip. We didn't stay long, as it was a scorching hot day, and we wanted to get to the next place before it got too hot... Alto dos Cubos, Monte Aloia, Tui A castro at the top of a mountain forest. It was at least a couple of kilometres walk through the forest, but the tall pines kept us shaded from the heat. The castro was wonderful, with a view down the mountain to the town of Tui and the river that seperates Galicia from Portugal. As with all the castros, we noticed that it had a great strategic location, as you'd see the Romans coming for days before they actually reached you. Vic
