From Ferrol to Naron Around the Ria.

  We left A very quiet Ferrol at 08.45 and found our way easily enough, following the excellent signage,walking past shipyards and naval colleges,sometimes bordering the Ria and occasionally along forest tracks, overhung with Eucalyptus trees. 
 Parish church of SamMartin de Xubia, on the site of a 12th century,Benedictine Monastery. We came across sheep grazing on an industrial estate and curious goats on a smallholding. 

 I did struggle with recently acquired Tendinitis in my right calf,blurred by Ibruprofen and Ice spray.

Over motorways and under railways,  the occasional diversion, eventually brought us to our Hotel Kensington,Naron.  

  We received a warm welcome from the owner, who had worked for 16 years in the hotel trade,London and whose English and sense of humour were excellent.Heeven opened the kitchen to provide us with lunch, despite Sunday’s normally being the chef’s day off! Even providing us with a local speciality,a favourite of both and I,Pimientos Padron.Padrón peppers are a variety of peppers from the municipality of Padrón in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, northwestern Spain. These are small peppers, with a color ranging from bright green to yellowish green, and occasionally red.Tradition states  that  every twelfth one is fiery; my first one was!
