Parque do Castro, Vigo, Galicia

05 June, 2022

Went with a friend to visit my favorite city park here, which is a hill atop which is the ruins of an old fortress, one of many which were throughout the region. 

This striped butterfly didn't come out so well in the photo, but I have never seen one like this before. Hopefully I will see one again and get another chance. It was missing part of its tail.

Part of the fort, looking toward the inside.
A view of the Ria, or river delta.


Here you can see the river delta, the Islas Cies, and beyond them the Atlantic Ocean.
Me, just being fabulously weird as usual.
This big white building used to be a hospital, then was expanded, and now is both a hospital and a court building (don't ask me why). It was recently inaugurated in its reopening by the King of Spain, causing much traffic.
I always take a picture of this little donkey. I love him.
