Do you hear it? It's your stress biting the dust
In ** Galicia **, half the coast is for fishing and the other half collects the remains of the poor hard workers to rearm them and give them a couple of kilos of weight for the return. That is all. Calmness, water and hypercaloric dishes of protein, carbohydrates, fiber and vitamins.
One of those places of summer love and gargantuan Christmas is in Barbazan lands. Boiro It is the birthplace of some members of Bizarre Love Triangle and it was the end of a long life of struggle of the great Ramon Sampedro . It is zone of canning industry (the invention of the century that has saved more than one of our lives for a couple of euros) and there are even routes to see and enjoy them.
Boiro has a port with a blue flag and Barraña beach is one of the few in Galicia where smoking is prohibited -in addition to having a blue flag too-.
The promenade is flanked by the beach on one side and a caravan site and a huge pine forest on the other. R Remember those endless papatorias with grandma, the portable refrigerators and the lightning dips -and making the croquette in the fine sand- to run back to eat the leftover breaded steaks and cold tortilla. The only concern was whether the castle was still standing when they got back to the beach. older they are the coves of Escarabote, for example.
Do you hear it? It's your stress biting the dust.
TRADE AND DRINK
Yes, I have put this epigraph so used that it gives thing, but we understand each other. We have come here to play. For your digestive system, the entire region of Barbanza is a war zone.
Two recommendations would be the ones you are going to see if you are on the beach. In Don Paquito _(Paseo de la Playa Jardin, s/n) _ there are tapas with drinks for your pretty face -something that we already know is not customary in all cities- and the portions are well worth it especially if you go as a family or with your group of 'friends'. In the Touliña bar , also on the beach _(on the Paseo de la Playa Jardín) _, group servings they get along better. Some fried baby squid with a glass of wine on the terrace and you'll tell me later how we're doing with the anxiety.
Baked ribs with barbecue sauce and potatoes with Argentine flair
Moanin _(Avenida Constitución, 17) _ is the ideal place to leave the classic bore of your group who always tells you “you have to go” and then takes you to places that neither fu nor fa. The kitchen mixes international ideas with local products at a very good price. So we have dishes to die for like the chicken with fungi _(8.50 euros) _, the cheeks in Marsala _(9.25 euros) _ or the putanesca-style stuffed baby squid _(7.90 euros) _.
Another place to get your strength back for the battle in the city is the ** Barbantia ** _(rúa Doutor Santos Mieites, 11) _ with traditional rations at good prices, although the Iberian secret or the sirloin are big words.
On the other hand, if you go with children (or you and your colleagues want to go blind to pizzas, why are we kidding ourselves), the must-see is the Adriana pizzeria _(Rua Pablo Iglesias, 10) _.
As an extra ball there is the place for lovers of the tortilla undercooked and juicy -In these lands those who like dry tortillas are punished with exile. Or Rhodes _(Avenida de Barraña, 77) _ has been, for four decades, an obligatory destination for fans of tortillas and local seafood (the mussels are from the family rafts and you have to try them yes or yes) and from the cold beer -if you want a jug ask for a gallarda- but it can only be visited in summer.
Then you can release toxins at some concert of the room A Pousada das Ánimas _(rúa Pablo Iglesias, 14) _ and let yourself go as it is a place of obligatory transit for musicians. Some, like Javier Krahe, made Boiro almost like their usual getaway.
And if this does not convince you, within the paradise of rest there is still more paradise. It is like finding more tranquility within than there is in a quiet place. Go to the ** Abbey of San Enrique ,** in the parish of Or Castro. you can try scallops with a glass of white wine in the middle of vineyards.
With all the above you should save yourself a few visits to the doctor.
Is it or is it not the paradise of rest?
