Spain is not all yellow and dry

[Pedro]

Today I drove to Galicia for a business meeting, and thought of taking a couple of pictures of a part of Spain completely different than what appears on reports from our members living in Southern drier Spain:

Spain in the distance

 

Driving from Orense to Lugo and back:

 

On top of the road you see on the previous picture, from where I took the picture, I found a memorial saying  "in memory of deceased bikers", the previous part is harder to translate as it means "a breath to the sky", or something like a blast to the sky, or to the heavens.

 

 

 

There, a drive report

Great shots Pedro!

I'm always amazed how green Galicia and Asturias are......course they get a lot more rain than we do.

And for @Sir Fallsalot and @Specs, Galicians are also classed as Celts and participate in the annual Celtic Festival.

Pays de Galles in French......and Gales in Spanish.

And the Y chromosome in the males of the Basque Country is the same one generally found in Welsh males.

And the same one found commonly in certain parts of the female sheep anatomy

Exactly. Galles, Galicia, Gales. The link must go back a long way.

Worse places to trace our DNA back to than Northern Spain Alan.

I mean....just imagine if that chromosome connected us to the Hanoverians?

Doesn’t bear thinking about. Imagine eating all the sheep that have been shagged by the Welsh.
