Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) San Andres de Teixido
Santo André de Teixido is the official name of a small village from the municipality of Cedeira, in the Serra da Capelada which is near the cliffs. According to the National Institute of Statistics, in 2007, there were 49 inhabitants.
There is a sanctuary also called San Andrés de Teixido, which is a famous pilgrimage site. The Galician toponym Teixido means a place with abundant yew trees (“teixo” in Galician).
The Santo André (En: Saint Andrew) Chapel is a famous sanctuary where, according to the popular saying “vai de morto quen non foi de vivo,” those who do not visit while they are alive, will visit in another form once they are dead. In the area surrounding Santo André, along the sides of the paths leading down to the sanctuary, there are more than half a dozen milladoiros (referred to as amilladoiros in the Cedeira region) - some of which are kept in perfect condition.
These consist of a pile of small stones that are left in certain locations such as near sanctuaries, crossroads and sacred places. This tradition is still practiced by the pilgrims who go to the Santo André sanctuary, as shown by the extraordinary milladoiro that is located in O Campo do Choíño (Choíño Field) in the so-called Costa Pequeña (Small Coast). It is possible that ones at the Santo André Chapel, made of thousands of stones that pilgrims have been placing over centuries, are the only ones in the world like that. Between the villages of Veniño and Teixido there are up to twenty milladoiros. Legend has it that the stones of the milladoiros, “will speak at the Last Judgement” and will reveal which souls fulfilled the promise of going on the pilgrimage to Santo André. It is believed that the pilgrimage to Teixido dates back to the Iron Age, (during the height of the Castro culture). However, the first recorded pilgrimage appears in the will of a dying woman from Viveiro in the year 1391, who stated (originally in old Galician): Iten mando yr por min en romaria a Santo Andre de Teixido, porque llo tenno prometudo, et que le ponnan enno seu altar hua candea commo he hua muller de meu estado.
The structure of the church is a Gothic temple with maritime influences. The oldest conserved element of the Gothic era is the pointed ogee arch. The oldest parts such as the apse, which was initially vaulted, date back to the Andrade Age. The side door, consisting of an Isabelline style pointed arch, (typical of the late Gothic period) most likely served as the main door of the sanctuary from the 15th - 18th Century.

Gastronomía de Ferrol con Germán Castro
Ferrol es una tierra de buen comer y beber, de materias primas de gran calidad y deliciosa cocina.
Los pescados y mariscos son los reyes de la gastronomía ferrolana y de toda Galicia. Destacan los berberechos y las almejas de la ría de Ferrol (y entre ellas la almeja de las Pías).
Un dicho gallego asegura que el marisco es mejor en los meses que tienen r, que son los que van de setiembre a abril, pero las vedas son el mejor indicador del marisco fresco que se puede comer en cada momento.
Una visita al mercado de la Magdalena de Ferrol es imprescindible para entender de qué estamos hablando!
Por su importancia en la mesa gallega, el pulpo (polbo) merece capítulo a parte: está presente en la carta de cualquier restaurante, especialmente el cocinado á feira (cocido y presentado con aceite de oliva, sal y pimentón dulce y picante, y conocido fuera de Galicia como a la gallega).En la villa de Mugardos, en la ría de Ferrol, es famoso el pulpo a la mugardesa, guisado, cuya fiesta tiene lugar en julio.
Por otra parte, Ferrol es también un escenario privilegiado para la degustación de la famosa ternera gallega, que cuenta con denominación de Indicación Geográfica Protegida. Destaca la ternera de la Capelada, criada en semilibertad en las proximidades de Ferrol, alimentada a base de pasto y leche, sin ningún tipo de pienso ni hormonas.
El Pan de Neda, elaborado por las panaderías del vecino ayuntamiento de Neda, tiene un sabor especial gracias a su excepcional materia prima y a las aguas del río Belelle. El Pan de Neda tiene su fiesta en el mes de septiembre.
En la comarca de Ferrol, en cualquier tapeo es imprescindible probar los pimientos do Couto, de apariencia semejante a los de Padrón, pero con la peculliaridad de que estos nunca pican... Tampoco tenemos que olvidar el grelo de Cerdido, de gran calidad, que cuenta con una feria gastronómica en marzo.
En cuanto a dulces se refiere, Ferrol presume de su arroz con leche (con fiesta el 7 de enero, el día del patrón de la ciudad), de la tarta de castañas (Castiñeira) y de los Bicos de Ferrol, pasteles típicos de la Fiesta de las Rondallas, la víspera de San José.
Es de destacar además la exquisita miel de los concellos de San Sadurniño, Moeche y de la parroquia de Esmelle, en Ferrol.
Por último, para sorpresa de los visitantes, sin ser Ferrol una zona de producción vitivinícola, es de las ciudades españolas en las que el consumidor de vinos es más exigente: además de los vinos gallegos de las 5 denominaciones, en Ferrol es muy popular el Rioja o el Ribera del Duero (esta es también la razón de que se celebre en Ferrol la Feria del Vino del Noroeste-FEVINO).

Mallorca (3640 sq.km) is known as an easy-to-reach mecca for friends of sunny beaches, amazing landscapes, wonderful mountains and affordable mediterranean food. With a coastline of more than 550km. In high season the island receives about 8 million tourists from around the world. This is both a blessing and a curse for the inhabitants, and they are well prepared for it and provide a very well-organized tourist infrastructure.
Nevertheless, Mallorca can show even other faces when you leave the coastline and take a look at the inner country. Prices fall with each kilometer you move away from the coast, and reach the usual Spanish standards in the center of the island or even some parts of the mountain area.
