Cedeira

 

Cedeira is a small fishing port in the very northwest of Galicia - with some tourism, but mostly, I think, people from other parts of Spain.  As you can see the harbour is beautifully protected from the main force of the Atlantic.  The trawlers travel far for tuna, which is canned locally, but smaller, local boats fish for whatever is available along the coast. As usual in Spanish fishing ports, there is a restaurant owned by the fishermen's union, and run professionally. It is usually called, or known as the restaurante dos pescadores and there was one here, where the fish was excellent.

Looking at the view & reading about the fish restaurant makes me think this is a special place Tom. Did you buy the frame from Bill Phillips?
Tom Wilson: If you are ever in a Spanish fishing port always ask for the Restaurante dos pescadores! The frame was an accident - I did it all before resizing - hence the thick blue band - it should have been thin!
What a beautiful sight! I like your presentation Tom.
Tom Wilson: Thanks, Richard.
Lovely image Tom ... but too much sky for me.
Tom Wilson: It was a case of having too much sky or too much suburban sprawl in the foreground, Richard - I opted for the least worst!
A fine panorama Tom, looks totally idyllic.
Tom Wilson: I's a wonderful spot, Fred.

Now this looks a fabulous place Tom, I should like to visit here very much.
Tom Wilson: Ferry to Santander then along the north coast and down a bit smile
not so sure about the frame color TOm, it is not my style
Tom Wilson: Not mine either, Chantal - I did it before resizing, so the number of pixels was rather astray! smile
Very pretty shot of the town - well composed.
Tom Wilson: Thanks, Mary
Nicely done, Tom, this looks a lovely place.
Tom Wilson: It's an idyllic spot, Frank - I'd like to rent an apartment if I go back.

I bet the fsh was very good indeed. There is a lot of good stuff in this picture, Tom
Tom Wilson: Thanks, Lisl - I was introduced to the idea of the Restaurante dos Pescadores by a friend in Murcia - I've looked for them whenever I've been in Spain and have never been disappointed!
It is certainly a very attractive looking place Tom.
Tom Wilson: It is, Brian - I'd be happy to return!
This looks a lovely place Tom
Tom Wilson: It is indeed, Bill

I bet you can't get much fresher fish than this. Mind you, some of the langoustines (or, as us plain speakers call 'em - scampi) may have come form UK waters. I like the lack of high rises.
Tom Wilson: That's certainly true, Alan - and one can certainly tell the difference!
like the view from this high up point. you have shown it off well
