Santiago de Compostelo was our starting point, and we drove first north to A Coruna to see the oldest continuously operating lighthouse in the world, the Torre de Hercules  built by the Romans on 100 AD.  The outside of this structure was built, however, in 1788.

The view of the northwestern most corner of Spain!

Our next 2 evening will be spent exploring Gijon and enjoying Asturian cuisine

Dinner of Asturian specialties,  a squid stew, another oxtail dish and pig cheeks! 

Not sure if this dessert was what we ordered,  but it was good
