30 people's beautiful Spanish treasure travel destination

4. COMBARRO Not far from the ancient city of Pontevedra by the sea, there is a small town called Combarro. I still remember the local Spanish travelers from Alicante in the south of Spain. In addition to the Way of St. James, Combarro is also something they marvel and take pride in, just like the Great Wall of China! No matter how far the journey is, they want to witness it with their own eyes! Combarro has the three most representative architectural elements of Galicia, 'Hórreos' (raised granaries), 'Casas marineras' (sea houses) and Cross. Obviously, the architecture here is full of these three unique elements. Walking along the coast, you can see the old stone granaries everywhere, and the cross on top of the granaries, as well as the seaside houses of fishermen and residents. This is the first time I have set foot on this land that seems ancient and yet reveals human culture. It is completely different from all the Spanish cities and towns I have seen. Walking along the coast seems to have a Viking era feeling, imagining those movies related to the sea and fishermen, and quickly getting into character. Every street and corner that needs to be wandered forward is like a scene carved in novels and movies. The occasional grass and flowers on the wall, the strolling cats, and the ancient wells and high crosses on each plaza have quietly left a piece of my heart here...
