One of the days during the break, I went with some friends to Tuy and Valença, two towns on either side of the river Miño. Tuy is in the Galician side, and Valença is on the Portuguese side. You can cross the bridge from one to the other with no trouble, since within the Schengen zone there are no border controls. Above you have a view of Tuy taken from the bridge. The highest building is the Cathedral, which is old and historical and it actually the seat of the diocese of Tuy-Vigo.
And that is Valença. As you can see, it's basically a fortress.
We went to a big outdoor market in Valença, which was mostly, I don't know why, towels and sheets and clothing. There were a few hilarious Engrish-type shirts, like a polo shirt embroidered with a little polo player and the words LALPH LAURE REPUBLICONE. There was also a stand that sold all sorts of birds and animals.
