Ships and stones in A Corunha

Well. I can't figure out how to format these photos, or maybe it's just that my computer screen is too small. If they look all crowded to you, too, pretend it's a matching game! Oh boy!!!

10) A congrio -- mmmmmm.


9) One of the "day boats" (which leave at 4:00 am and arrive at 10:30/11:00 am) pulls into the Lonja, where people buy fresh fish.


8) Fishing storage garages. Multiply this scene by twenty or so and you have the entire fishing dock.


7) In this photo you can see the nets on Fran's boat!


6) The navigational system on Fran's boat! These are routes to get in and out of the A Corunha port.


5) Where fish are cleaned in Fran's boat!


4) One of the most beautiful corners of the city. There are two monuments here -- the rounded stones are just for "Celtic" influence (the man who told me used quotation marks), and what I called "Baby Stonehenge" in the written blog is a memorial for the people who were executed on this hill during the Franco dictatorship.


3) Empty recreational watercraft docks.


2) A boat!


1) Beach maximum density law.
