Walking in the Fragas de Eume

We went for a walk through part of the Fragas de Eume on Sunday - the Eume bit being the name of the river - on google earth or maps look for Pontedeume and follow the road from Chao de Ombre into the valley and you will see roughly where we went. I remembered to switch the video camera on every now and then, it was fairly warm around 28 C so good to be in shade some of the time. The river is so clean and blue it reminds me of meltwater rivers in Norway or the Alps. There are a lot of natural trees in the Fragas but the eucalyptus are making inroads there too - they are a real menace and the government seem to be realising they are both a valuable crop and a pernicious weed.
