Took a weekend trip north to Galicia for three days and was able to visit Santiago de Compostela & Acoruña while battling the wrath of Santiago and his tsunami. The Northwest part of Spain was anything I have ever experienced - I was able to try pulpo, walk through the Puerta Santa of La Catedral de Santiago, and visit the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world. After an hour long flight from Madrid I could have believed that I was in Ireland (until I heard all the locals speaking gaellgo).

It is only open on holy years when St. Jame´s day falls on a Sunday:
