Finland's Lighthouse Society members planned to have a 2 weeks tour into the Atlantic coastline of Portugal and Spain.
In Lisbon, Portugal they have a tram which can climb up the hills by tilting the cabin
Tram service had an accident and we had to take a Tuk-Tuk to see some sights of Lissabon - driver droved like he lived there...

Portugal is a sea-farer country. They have built a lot of lighthouses on the coastline, here is the first we saw, the Santa Marta Lighthouse.
Atlantic cost has completely different kind of flora than in Finland

Vigo airport car rent office gave us a car that had scratches in the sides. Take always photos of the car when you receive it!
After leaving Vigo, it was time to have some lunch in Santiago de Compostella
Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
The organs of Santiago de Compostella Cathedral had "Spanish horns"
We wanted to log the geocache in the church wall, but this older man was muggling around. Finally I just took the container and logged the cache...
This is the place whre the Santiago de Compostela walkers are ending their walk: FinisTerra beside the sea shore
One German geocacher was found
