@Fritz. Thats right! its the Miño river. This a photo of were it meets the ocean that I posted in another thread a while back, the other side of the river is Portugal's side of the Atlantic coast.
I remember seeing this great photograph last time around.
For some reason, my atlas has "La Guardia" down as "A Garda".
Hope you are on commission from the Spanish tourist agency. You certainly make me want to visit Spain again.

As to the name being listed as "A Garda" it is because that is the name in the Galitian language, but in spanish/castilian its La Guardia, your Atlas has the native name.
Galitian is the language native to this region of Spain (Galicia, from the name the roman empire gave it, Gallaecia, becuase of its celtic backround who settled here in 2000AD, the galiain) its the earliest written latin language along with Italian and evolved from latin at the same time as Castillian did around the turn of the first millenia in the Iberian peninsila. Later when the diverse kindgdoms of the peninsula were united to form the Kingdom of Spain in the 16 century by the Catholic Kings, castillian became the common language of the whole territory. Galitian is co-oficial language here with spanish/castillian, and everybody is bilingual. Galitian is spoken more in the rural areas, and spanish more in the cities.
Here is a shot were you can kind of make out the fortress in the island in the middle of the river.

This picture is simply beatiful!
How many minutes did you have to walk to get to the higher vantage point to take this picture? You must not have your kids or wife with you or else they would never wait

Thanks for the "background story", Carlos.
I thought it would be something along those lines, but didn't anticipate you'd give so much detail. Muchos gracias for your trouble. Have toured the Basque region, Catelonia, and the Pyrenees many years ago by Porsche (924), and Portugal by rental car in the recent past, but I now know that my next trip to the Iberian Peninsula will have to be to Galicia, and preferably in a 911.
