cedeira el diamante de españa
music: the cure by miro
as we are driving around - the weather changed from sunny to dark grey. this is the kind of weather that i like... strong gusts of wind - rain splats..... high waves... melancholic.. lonely.. solitary.
i think thats why even if i live and grew up in the philippines, i never felt at home in the tropical weather and tropical beaches.. i prefer rocky, lonely beaches.. not to swim but just to stand there, being there.
of all my travel inside spain and portugal - this is the best moment i have felt in my entire journey.
it was a strange feeling, it's like i had been here before. i felt so beautiful standing in the cliffs - winds and rain in my face and the free horizon beyond me.
like a magical child.
los acantilados en la serra da capelada, the ends of the earth which is finisterra.
in that wild stretch of land
such a sad place to be
when the night comes heavy down
and the sands turn to sea
many saints have lost their love
many a pilgrim died unseen
in that wild stretch of land
in that fire to be free
patrick wolf

the highest cliffs in europa: acantilados en la serra da capelada
los acantilados en la serra da capelada or the cliffs in the mountains of capelin are the highest cliffs in the continent of europa. they are more than 600-700 meters in height. it is located between the towns of cedeira and cariño in galicia, spain.
the cliffs are the center of many myths of love and death and according to legends that you will either visit it in life or in death and the ancient greeks named it as the green country of the west where the end of the ancient world is located - finisterra or ends of the earth.
the cliffs are both mystic and enigmatic. you feel you are standing in one of the most powerful force in the universe.
it is very windy and stormy even in high summer, you can see the high waves pounding on the rocks with all the forces of natures anger are behind them and beyond is the endless sight and horizon of the tempestous atlantik ocean. the feeling is majestic but spiritual at the same time.
simply beautiful.
it is very hard to reach the cliffs as there are no public transportation to acces them. we had 2 cars to bring us all to the cliffs. but i am sure, there are pathways from cedeira to access these magnificent cliffs, the cliffs which were created by a being beyond our greatest and wildest imagination.
*i uploaded too some of the fotos of my friends lori, rubs, pablo and mine*
