The splendour of the Artabran Coast.

The Artabran coast, or Costa Artabra, is well- known among surfers, but doesn't appeal to the common tourist. They rather like the overcrowded beaches of Southern Spain where they can be roasted by a merciless summer sun.
The coasts of Galicia, with their Celtic grandeur and unpredictable climate attract a different kind of people; those fond of a brisk walk, and loving great landscapes. 
Sometimes the beaches look nearly Caribbean, but when the sun disappears the courageous rambler has to wrap up well against rain and wind. Whatever the condition of the weather, the Artabran Coast is always beautiful.
Buy yourself a good walking stick and do not forget to pay a visit to a local pub, seafood as tapas and a good glass of beer is a heavenly reward after a long walk.

Coffee in the Calle Magdalena.

Spanish people love their cup of coffee. Café solo and café con leche are most common. Or try a café Bombón with condensed milk, the one with Crema de Orujo is even better. And a   café Carajillo with brandy or rum, and lemon, is ideal after a long walk on a rainy day.
The Calle Magdalena in Ferrol houses a few enterprises that may be of some interest to the coffee lover. Tea room Valencia & Stollen is famous for its sweets and the building is a creation of the famous Art Nouveau architect Rodolfo Ucha.
It seems that Táboas sells coffee since the dawn of history. This curious shop belongs to a past era and is certainly worth a visit. The friendly shopkeeper will kindly permit you to take a few photos, as long as he is not in the picture himself ( "I'm too ugly" he said!).
Don't forget to buy some of his delicious coffee. A great souvenir!
