In the end of day, finaly I reached the famous sanctuary – ” Senhor da Pedra”!
What I see around was that every body is going to sanctuary and sunset destination!
But the most interesting moment was when I ran behind the sea gulls to provoke them flying and come back to my camera to click this beautiful picture!

Sanctuary “Senhor da Pedra” located in the beautiful beach, Miramar, Vila nova de Gaia, Portugal!

-La batalla de Covadonga tuvo lugar en 722 en Covadonga (España), un paraje próximo a Cangas de Onís (Asturias), entre el ejército de Don Pelayo y tropas de Al-Ándalus, que resultaron derrotadas.
