Stop 64 - Horní Podluží

Our last postcard was sent to Horní Podluží, in the Czech Republic, 1985 kilometers away!

The postcard was sent to Petra. It was sent by Fernando, a Basic 2 student who wrote on a postcard featuring one of the medieval tombs inside the church of Santa María a Nova: probably the grave of a rich merchant who might have done business with -among other places - Czech lands in the remote past!

As a curious coincidence, last year we also wrote a postcard to the Czech Republic with exactly the same picture.

And yet another coincidence: the day we got Petra's address coincided with her birthday!

Thanks, Fernando!

Stop 63 - Kiev

Our last postcard was sent to Kiev, in the Ukraine, 3088 kilometers away!

The postcard was sent to Margarita. It was sent by Tania, a Basic 2 student who wrote on a postcard that features one of the paintings of Alfonso Costa, the famous local artist. This one represents a stylized view of San Martiño church and some people going towards it. It is fittingly called 'Camino a ti' ('I walk towards you').

Thanks, Tania!

Stop 62 - Oberhausen

Our last postcard was sent to Oberhausen, in Germany, 1528 kilometers away!

The postcard was sent to Yanik. It was sent by Susana, a Basic 2 student who wrote on a postcard showing the tympanum over the main entrance of the San Martiño church, in Noia. On it we can seen the coat of arms of archbishop Lope de Mendoza (who ordered it to be built, in the XVth century) along with scenes from the Apocalypse (Christ in glory along with elders / musicians) very similar to the ones that can be seen in Santiago's Pórtico da Gloria.

Thanks, Susana!

Stop 61 - Moscow

Our last postcard was sent to Moscow, in Russia, 3585 kilometers away!

The postcard was sent to Daria. It was sent by Matilde, a Basic 2 student who wrote on a postcard which illustrates a 1995 painting by Alfonso Costa called 'Íntima' (Intimate).

Thanks, Matilde!

The postcard was sent to Friedrich. It was sent by Marieta Mayo, a Basic 2 student who wrote on a postcard with a picture of the 'Tasca Típica', a traditional bar / restaurant in the Noia old town.

Thanks, Marieta!
