It looks like it. During a short trip, more than half of the time it was raining. That does not mean we had a bad time. Oh no, not at all. Rain also has some sort of beauty.
Since my daughter lives in Spain we have a good excuse to visit this country every now and then. This time we went in February, and I can tell you it was cold, wet and windy. Luckily we have also enjoyed a few warmer days and were able to visit nice places in Portugal like Braga and Guimaraes. If you walk such towns it is as if time stood still. But also contrast; Amazing beauty and incomprehensible rubbish live next to each other. I’ll show you some of the beauty;
Our daughter lives in Spain nowadays. She’s got herself a Spanish boyfriend and we longed to visit them in Tui (in Galicia), where he lives with his family. Tui has a legendary origin. It is situated on a hill and next to the Portuguese border by the River Mino. There’s so much to discover in this province of Spain which is not yet discovered by tourists. Cities like Pontevedra, Vigo and Santiago de Compostela (famous for it’s Cathedral) are worth visiting, even on a rainy day! This area of Spain is rich with mountains and has many brooklets and streamlets with attractive cascades. But you have to be early in the season to enjoy this. Also it has nice beaches at the west-coast.
