Some Roman Spain

 After the Tour de Wellington we started our own self guided tour.  From Mdrid we took a sweep to the NW to rendezvouz with Chris' Irene  We were too far west for the 1813 campaign & Corruna is to0o built over to bother with, so it mostly a scenic trip to Santigo de Compostela & down top Porto.  But on the way we checked out Roman walls at Astorga & Lugo.   

The Roman walls at Astorga have survived in part.
But the walls at Lugo are the only complete Roman city wall that has survived.  It is a 2.2 km perimeter with 77 towers, all between 10m & 15m high.
