Day 66, Saturday 19/5:

Today we started out by driving into Ferrol centre to do some shopping. We walked to the Herrero Gardens, which have good views over the Naval shipyards and surrounding area. I found a geocache. We then visited the San Felipe castle ruins. This is one of the two castles used to guard the narrow entrance to the Ferrol harbour. At some points in history, a large chain was strung between the two to bar access. The castle was very interesting to explore, mainly because of the numerous extensions made to it throughout history. We spent quite some time exploring it and Mary-Snow and I only became lost once. 

We then travelled back home on another scenic route. Once we got back home, after lunch, we decided to have an afternoon siesta, as we were all getting a bit past it with the numerous late nights. We awoke at 7:00pm to continue the day’s activities (as it doesn’t get dark until 10.30pm, we still had plenty of daylight left), setting out in Mary-Snow’s car to visit some of her favourite local sites along the coast including a lighthouse and a very small chapel perched on a small island off the coast. We then returned home for a 10pm dinner.
