Bade farewell to the Belgians, paid the 14 euros (for cold showers!) and went into town to the Sunday market. Bit dissappointing cos it was mostly vegetables and plants but did buy a couple of Padron pepper plants to grow on the way home - will they have flowers by the time we get home? Then we drove the few remaining miles into A Coruna, where we first located the official Aire overlooking a small fishing harbour to the west of Coruna. It was deserted, no services and did not fancy it. Seems like the coastal aires are for the summer months.
Went into A Coruna, a big town and busy despite being Sunday, around the touristy front to the Tower of Hercules area. This is the site of a roman light house, now fully restored, with its exhibition area (geriatric entry rates). We had a nice, if expensive, Sunday lunch with lamb and turbot and half bottle of wine within site of the tower and a TV screen. Saw Jason Button win Monaco grande prix (Alonso crashed out much to Spanish dismay!) I went most of the way up the tower before giving up - lots of stone steps - too much lunch. Booked-in to a super, but deserted, camp site at Santa Cruz as it started to rain, backed into tree - only minor damage!
