Hi,
Visiting the city of A Coruña for me is always a pleasure because of its aroma of sea all over the city. A sea sometimes very violent, especially in autumn, winter and spring.
The beach of Riazor-Orzan, of a considerable extension, presents the typical form in C very closed at the expense of the erosion that the sea has made, with what in its day were rocks around it.
Not far from there, on one of the headlands is one of the emblems of the city, which is none other than the oldest Roman lighthouse still in use today. It is none other than the great Tower of Hercules.
The environment of this place is special to contemplate the rugged coastline of the coast.
And also to enjoy the cliffs on which the waves break.
And for those who like sculptures there are several sculptures. Many of them related to the myth of Hercules.
And others with a more local connotation as the statue of Breogan. A mythological being from the Celtic culture of northwestern Spain.
But for an amateur photographer like me, the place I like the most is the area where the Menhirs for Peace are located.
These menhirs have holes at different heights in each Menhir and some of them allow you to take pictures with framing.
But of all the photographs taken using the framing that allow the menhirs, the most beautiful is the one that allows to capture another nearby monument, which is a monument in honor of the fallen in Spanish civil war.
*My entry to #pobphotocontest organized by @friendlymoose *
Monument also striking for the placement of several stones, one on top of the other with different inscriptions and literary quotations of some of the fallen in the civil war, as Federico García Lorca.
And as a final touch, if you want to go to a small sandy beach almost private, you can go in a few meters to enjoy a swim.
Greetings.
