I went along on my school's end-of-course outing, to a place on the top of a mountain on the Morrazo peninsula called Chan d'Arquiña. In the map below you can see my area of Galicia, which is called Rías Baixas (lower rías or lower bays). We were on the peninsula north of Vigo. Looking north, you could see the Ría de Pontevedra, the next peninsula, and actually all the way to the Ría de Arousa and the next peninsula after that!
The picture above faces north, and you can see all the way to Vilagarcía d'Arousa.
This picture faces west, and displays Moaña from above.
Here's Vigo.
The Puente de Rande, a bridge which I crossed every day.
This is a prehistoric megalithic structure that is the "arquiña" in the name Chan d'Arquiña.
These horses have owners, but are allowed to go free most of the time, so they are semi-wild. We actually saw a few horses that had wooden hobbles attached to their feet to prevent them from going too fast or far away, a practice that is illegal.
