This beach is on the north side of the Morrazo peninsula, right next to praia Castiñeiras, where we went the other week. Technically, I think it's actually named San Xián (the name Xián is the equivalent of the Spanish or English "Julian"), but all the beaches are next to each other and barely separated.
Something else I would like to post photos of is San Xoán, the festival of St John, which coincides with the Summer solstice. On St John's Night, everyone goes to the beach and makes bonfires. We went to Samil, in Vigo, and it was really a special experience. There were thousands of people on the beach, and hundreds of fires stretching down for miles. The air was hazy with smoke. The moon was a sliver in the sky which soon disappeared. My friend has some photos; hopefully I can get them and post them here.
