Baiona

 This ancient town, from which many expeditions to the Americas were launched,  we stayed in and enjoyed.  The town is interesting and fully modernized yet very old, the Parador of Baiona is situated in an amazing fortress that sits on a prominence above the town and the entrance to the port.  The gardens surrounding the parador are extensive and beautiful.  The parador overlooks at the boats in the harbor protectively on one side and faces the wild Atlantic with its trade routes and foreign invaders, on the other.
