Better weather again today. We drove to Baiona where we walked around the castle walls with great views of the town, the ria and out to sea. Then we walked around the old town, and after lunch walked up to see the huge statue of the Virgin Mary. When I was last here you could go up inside but this time the door was locked. Then we drove south into Portugal and looked around Viana do Castela. We took a funicular up the hill, then wandered around the old town. Beautiful place, another town I remember from 1984.
On the castle walls
This is the top of the huge statue. The boat is the viewing platform
Narrow streets in Baiona
At the top of the funicular in Viana do Castelo
The main square...
...and quaint streets
Well deserved beer
