It's a real pity that some of the towns after Ribadavia are pro Miñoto Ribeiro and anti Geira. My very good friend Paco, who is a carpenter and lives in the small hamlet of A Mamoa, between Soutelo de Montes and Codeseda, has found his fantastic...

By pure coincidence, I published my ‘daily diary’ about...
I would tend to agree with both @peregrina2000 and @jungleboy that it is well worth spending the afternoon/evening in Ribadavia. Churches, the castle, a lovely river walkway, the Jewish quarter . . .
