As the heatwave in Northern Europe continues and tempers flare on Le Tour we wake to a grey and overcast morning in Tapia. We can hear the drizzle on the roof and rollover. Our plans for walking Tapia and the beach go on hold for another couple of hours.
We have our coffee and fruit a bit later than usual as the drizzle continues. Tapia is looking decidedly wet, so we get the Hymer ready to roll and continue west on the A8. We cross the Rio Eo at Ribadeo, before turning for Praia As Catedrias.

However it seems like a big deal, there are a couple of huge car-parks, and lots of cars and campers. 
This section of coastline can be described as the Spanish version of the 12 Apostles in Victoria.
There is about 1500m or so of boardwalk allowing us to walk along looking at the formations. 
Not the most riveting of walks but interesting enough.
The lady in the information office tells us they open the path down to the beach as the low tide approaches. Then you can walk the various formation. The next tide is 7pm tonight, so we decide not to wait 6 hours and continue on.
Back in the Hymer again we continue west on the A8, then turn to follow the N642 coast route. This is considerably slower but more scenic. The cloud clears, the suns out as we arrive in Viveiro. A large porte town, which is handy as it has a large supermarket. We do a shop and continue another 10 kms to Vicedo and turn down to the harbour.

Local hero perhaps… 
Better still we find a series of 3 small beaches only a short walk. So we grab a towel and go to the beach. The rest of the afternoon just slips into evening.
We purchased some prawns and calamari at the market in Viveiro earlier today, with a home made salad Pam created and crusty bread we dined overlooking the marina, thatโs what the camper-car lifestyle is all about.
