In front of the church we met a french couple and their kids. They came down here to meet their parents who sailed to Galicia from Bretagne. They told us that there has been a lot of killer whales attacks on sailing boats lately around the coastline of Gibraltar but also now around Galicia. The whales played with a few boats and managed to sink or wreck a few. It becomes very dangerous to sail and the authorities recommand that the boats stay on shore at night.

The myst slowly disappeared as we started to walk under the arms of a giant wind mill. After a few meters, we noticed a man running after us with his telephoto lens camera...Stephane enthusiastically show us the shots he took of us hiking up the hills in the shadows of the wind mill helix...We stopped right there and talk for a while with him and his partner Fabienne. We just found our saving grace in this amazing french couple ...after mentioning that we were running low on food ...they just flooded us with vegetables, fruits, bread, milk, sea food ..almost all of their own stock....They also brought back the sun with their contagious joy and kind encouragements. They taught us a new magic Spanish word which brings smiles upon everyone face : "Buena Suerte!"
