Petroglyphs in A Caeira, Pontevedra  We took a short drive up into the hills overlooking the city in search of the closest mystical sight we could find. The seasons arrive bang on schedule in this part of the world, so the weekend arrived with heavy rains and winds. Despite the proximity, Malusa managed to fall asleep in the car on the way, but we could see the stones from the side of the road, so we had a look around in the drizzle, a little disappointed that there weren't many to see. But before we left, we noticed a map showing more up the side of the hill.

I found the leyline, 23 paces in width, from the rampart side and then stopping as near to the point it could go while still keeping its width. So the point had a triangle without the ley where the rods crossed. Amazing! The views were spectacular with the 'point' overlooking Comb Reservoir below. Dave
