Holy shore

January 04, 2022 in photographs

Galicia, November 2021.

This is the Sil river, and the shore at this point is called "Ribeira Sacra" in Galician, which means "Holy Shore". Holy not because of the incredible views, or the amazing wine that they make here, but apparently because of all the churches and monasteries that once existed around here. Most of them still stand today.
