Ons Island - Isla de Ons
The Ons Islands (Islas de Ons) are of international conservation importance and have National Park status in Spain. They are one of the most important nature conservation and wildlife sites in Spain. But outside Galicia and Spain few people have much awareness about their existance and significance.
The Ons Islands cover an area of about 470 hectares and along with the Cies Islands are part of the Atlantic Islands National Park and they lie in the province of Pontevedra close to the Port of Bueu. There are actually 10 beaches almost all virgin. Half are on the eastern side of the island of Ons, and from north to south are Melide (the largest and nudist), das Dornas (for the northern dock), Area dos Cans (the most central and busy), Canexol (close to the fort and the cemetery) and Pereiró (the southern most). On the west-facing Atlantic are the rocky beaches of Fontiñas and Liñeiro, to the south is Fedorento Beach, and the northern most island of the archipelago is the the Beach of Onza South and Onza North.

Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) Castro de Barona
The Castro de Baroña is a fort located in the parish of Baroña, a municipality of Porto do Son in the province of A Coruña. The settlement, surrounded by two walls and containing twenty roundhouses that still remain today, was built on a peninsula and inhabited from the 1st Century BC to the 1st Century AD.
A moat four metres wide by three metres deep, forming the first line of defence, was dug into the isthmus that connects the town to the fort. Beyond this, there is a rampart consisting of two almost parallel stone walls filled with sand and stone. It is thought that this rampart originally connected to the town walls, creating an area most likely without housing. The main wall is well preserved and has two sides, the one on the right is made up of three gradually rising stone walls, and the one on the left is similar to that of the isthmus.
To the right of the entrance there was a defensive tower where the walls narrowed, so it is assumed that it was shut with a gate to prevent the passage of carts. It is possible that the wall previously surrounded the entire fort. There is a sloped entrance that leads into the interior living space, which is divided into four separate parts. In the first, it is debated whether the construction on the left is either a long bench or a single fallen pillar. Within this building a fireplace, some earthenware artefacts and a hole for a post were found, indicating it could have been a forge. Set against the gate, there are other oval shaped structures with a hall and another that could have been a forge.
The next section is separated by a retaining wall and is reached by some stairs, which are the best preserved of all Galician forts. This section contains a group of houses forming an area sheltered from the wind. A trail leads to the highest part of the town where there are other surviving structures. Evidence suggests the town was self-sufficient. Inside the fort there was no water, springs or wells, thus there was the need to source water elsewhere. It is thought that food came primarily from the sea, and so basically consisted in shellfish and fish. They also ate cattle, goats, sheep and acorns. At the site there are remains of metalwork, masonry and textiles.
The Castro de Baroña was first excavated in 1933 by Sebastián González-García. The subsequent excavations were carried out by J. M. Luengo (1969-1970), Francisco Calo Lourido and Teresa Soeiro (1980 to 1984). Ánxel Concheiro (1984) and Francisco Calo (1985) reinforced the structural integrity of the fort, and a new round of excavations and renovations was started on May 21, 2012.

Convent of San Paio de Antealtares, Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The Royal Monastery of San Pelayo de Antealtares (Monastery of San Paio de Antealtares in Galician) is currently a Spanish convent of cloistered Benedictine nuns located in Santiago de Compostela, belonging from its foundation to the Benedictine Order. It is located in the old town, opposite the head of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, closing the square of the Quintana. Antealtares was originally monastery of monks under the invocation of San Pedro. By the middle of the twelfth century, apparently, it ended up relieving San Pedro as titular Pelayo, the Galician boy martyr. His community was an essential part, since the High Middle Ages, of the devotional and cultural nucleus of the Locus Santi Jacobi founded by Alfonso II of Asturias, the chaste in the first quarter of the ninth century. His work focused on the care of the Altar of the Apostle, the liturgical service and the attention of the first pilgrims. With the delivery of the monks of Antealtares, Compostela became a great focus of spirituality and culture. In 1499, the reformer Fray Rodrigo of Valencia, by order of the Catholic Monarchs, decided that this monastery was the center of the reform of the female monasteries of the order in Galicia, confirming the foundation and endowment by papal bulls of Innocent VIII and Alexander VI and the authority of the General Chapter of the Congregation of Valladolid on July 23, 1499. Five hundred years after such an event, the Followers of the Saint of Nursia continue in Antealtares as the only monastic presence, but in continuity, of those of the Order that had the city of Santiago from its very beginnings at the beginning of the ninth century.
