Castro de Santa Tecla is een archeologische plaats gelegen op de hellingen van de berg Monte de Santa Tecla, in de zuidwestelijke Galicische gemeente A Guarda, Spanje. De site is strategisch gelegen met uitzicht op de monding van de rivier de Miño, op 341 meter boven de zeespiegel. Het behoort tot de Castro-cultuur en is een van de meest emblematische en bezochte Galicische forten (castros).

A Castro is a prehistoric town with rounded buildings. There are some similar archeological sites in celtic culture nations like Ireland and Whales, usually called hillforts because, well. They are somewhat fortified (they usually have town walls) and they're up in the hills.

The castro is the Galician version of the hillfort, and there are some beautiful examples out there, but this -Santa Tegra- is one of the best preserved ones.

It's getting up there and feeling I'm more connected to my ancestors. We used to live in places like this!

Sol do fim de uma tarde de Outubro, a passar por ente as nuvens, na Foz do Minho. Fim de tarde em outubro na Foz do Minho. Raios de sol por entre as nuvens refletem nas águas do Rio Minho.
