MÉRIDA ( Spain ): 10 places you should not forget to visit
Essence of Merida -Badajoz- Spain
Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) Monterrei Castle
Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) Monterrei Castle
The castle at Monterrei is situated in the very south east corner of Galicia, a mere 10 minutes from Portugal on a hill that overlooks the town of Verin in Ourense. Monterrei castle is reached on either the N-525 or A-52 roads from Ourense.
As you approach Monterrei the castle appears ominously on the horizon and it is certainly imposing. A parador on an adjacent peak is also clearly visible, but it is the castle that captures your immediate attention and from the outside at least, lives up to expectations. From a distance two towers are visible and as you grow closer you start to notice the massive walls that rap and spiral down the hill below the main structure.
Parking is available at the bottom of the castle’s hill and although the climb looked daunting it took no more than a few minutes. The castle certainly increases in visual appeal as you draw closer and the various elements of its structure become more visible and detailed.
As you gain in elevation the castle, and perhaps more so the massive walls around and below it, become even more imposing. There are also the crumbling remains of three old cannons still pointing out through the ramparts towards invisible assailants or ghosts from the past. With no other visitors around we found it quite eerie.
If you are based in Ourense, or prepared to make an early start from Vigo or Pontevedra and travel on the A52 or N120 (both good routes) this castle is worth a look. But do ensure you can reach it before the afternoon fiesta or your journey will be partially in vain. You can also add a visit to the town of Verin that sits at the foot of the castles small mountain.

Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) Catedral de Ourense
Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) Catedral de Ourense
Ourense Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in Ourense in northwestern Spain. Dedicated to St Martin, it was founded in 550. The first structure was restored by Alonso el Casto.
The present mainly Gothic building was raised with the support of Bishop Lorenzo in 1220. Its local patroness is Saint Euphemia. There is a silver-plated shrine, and others of St Facundus and St Primitivus. The Christ's Chapel (Capilla del Cristo Crucificado) was added in 1567 by Bishop San Francisco Triccio. It contains an image of Christ, which was brought in 1330 from a small church on Cape Finisterre. John the Baptist's Chapel (Capilla de San Juan Bautista) was created in 1468 by the Conde de Benavente. The Portal of Paradise is sculptured and enriched with figures of angels and saints, while the antique cloisters were erected in 1204 by Bishop Ederonio.
The Capilla de la Maria Madre was restored in 1722, and connected by the cloisters with the cathedral. The eight canons were called Cardenales, as at Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, and they alone did services before the altar; this custom was recognised as immemorial by Pope Innocent III, in 1209. The cathedral, which has undergone an impressive transition of architectural styles of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical, was built to a Latin Cross plan. It has been a functional basilica since 1887. The cathedral has a crucifix that is held in great reverence all over Galicia.
The earliest cathedral in Ourense appears to have been the church dedicated to Santa María la Madre. In 550, the Suevian king Chararic built a second church dedicated to St Martin of Tours on the site of today's cathedral of the Auriense diocese. It was also the time when the arch bridge opposite the cathedral was built over the river, facilitating access to the thermal springs. The cathedral was however repeatedly destroyed over the centuries by the Moors and the Northmen who invaded the city. Today's building was constructed as a Romanesque church in the 12th and 13th centuries. Construction was supported by Bishop Lorenzo, who also built the new Ourense bridge and the bishop's palace.
