Our plan was to move west on the N6 to the old city of Lugo which boasts the best preserved Roman walls in the world. These walls surround a beautifully preserved old town which the city fathers have done everything to maintain. Largely traffic free, there are plazas, tree lined avenues, marvellous architecture and a dignified and smart population. After a set lunch in the shade (the temperature showed 31 degrees) and some help from the turismo office we had to move on to find a campsite for the night. Frustratingly, sites are not well sign posted and we pressed on to A Coruna arriving at the cocktail hour at a seedy place on the beach owned, managed and tightly controlled by a bloke in an old boiler suit who kept everything locked. Not a place to remain more than one might. Not even a cafe for a post supper Fundador!
