Rains in Spain?

I've been traveling for the last week in the only place in Spain were it does rain quite a bit...and boy did it rain! My friend Djali and I started our journey in Galicia, the very north-west province of spain. Our first destination was Santiago de Compostela...a small beautiful town, famous for being the end point to the 'Camino' or Road to Santiago which is a month-long trek that starts in the Pyrenees. It's also famous for its seafood...which i endulged in from the moment i got there. The most famous dish is Pulpo (octopus)...yumm. The area is nothing like the rest of spain...it's hilly and very green...greener than seattle, greener than ireland...even the churches have moss growing on them. After a day in santiago, we met a very nice couchsurfer (luis) who took us on a drive all along the coast...magnificent cliffs, beaches, etc. Next was Vigo were i bought some fresh oysters from old ladies :) From Vigo we crossed the border to Porto, Portugal. I really liked this place...it had a very undisturbed decrepit feel to it- very charming. I spent most of my time getting lost in small side-streets and discovering little nooks here and there. My final day was taking tours of Port Wineries and port tasting of course. That's it...no story, just an update :)
