I thought the name was rather strange and have tried to find out to what it refers:

I checked with Google and all I could find was, "Morte Realeza Fatos França Morte de Catherine de Valois." Catherine de Valois was the wife of Henry V and died in 1437.

In the background is the Castillo de San Anton, which was built in the XVI century and protected the Port against Sir Frances Drake in 1589 and later became a prison and is now a museum.



From our window at lunch time.

A lot of history in one photograph. :)

I came back from La Coruña and saw the sun in the harbor.

I really messed the photo up but it is still interesting to see just how the harbor was illuminated in an otherwise dark world.
