9th P&L Postcard Exchange

I love to being a member of P&L group :) I met there plenty o wonderful people :) From time to time members of that group make an exchange of postcards :) This time I've got a card from Beatriz from Spain :)

On a postcard we can see a view of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia (northern Spain). It's and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985 and the destination of the St. James Way (Pilgrimage Route) . The view shows the main façade called: „OBRADOIRO” (what mean in Galician: "workshop”). 

Peaks of Europe

This postcard came to me from Spain. 

The Picos de Europa (English: "Peaks of Europe", often abbreviated to the Picos) is a range of mountains 20 km inland from the northern coast of Spain, located in the Autonomous Communities of Asturias, Cantabria and Castile and León, forming part of the Cantabrian Mountains. The most widely accepted origin for the name is that they were the first sight of Europe for ships arriving from the Americas.

The Lakes of Covadonga (el. 1134 m.) are of two glacial lakes located on the region of Asturias, Spain. These lakes, usually also called Lakes of Enol, are Lake Enol and Lake Ercina located in the Picos de Europa range and they are the original center of the Picos de Europa National Park, created in 1918.

Time to visit Spain

Cantabria is a Spanish historical region and autonomous community with Santander as its capital city. It is bordered on the east by the Basque Autonomous Community - province of Biscay, on the south by Castile and León (provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos), on the west by the Principality of Asturias, and on the north by the Cantabrian Sea (from here). 

With a surface of 5 300 square kilometers Cantabria offers extremely varied landscapes and climates. there are still bears, wolves and eagles in its mountain ranges, Picos de Europa and the natural preserve of Saja, and the rivers are full of salmons and trouts. Pico de tres Mares ("peak of the three seas") is a real curiosity: a drop of water that falls here may equally arrive to Atlantic Ocean, by Duero river, the Cantabric Sea, by Nansa river, or the Mediterranean Sea by Ebro river.

Ebro is a river in north-eastern part of Spain. The source is in the CantabrianMountains. Flows in a depression between the Pyrenees and the Iberian Mountains. In the lower reaches, flowing through the Catalonian mountains, creates a breakthrough. Flows into the Mediterranean Sea, creating a fast-growing delta.

In total contrast is the coast with beautiful bays and romantic fishing villages. In between you will find green valleys and hills.

The postcard came to me from other part of Europe, it needed 1 week to appeared here. Nice :)
