The holiday weekend began with Dia de Hispanidad - celebrated in all the Spanish speaking world. We were in town with friends and went into the Naval Museum to escape the rain! Turned out it was a good place for a day when they celebrated the day of the dicovery of America on this day in 1492. The picture (right) is perhaps a bit romanticised. No mention of the other explorers who clearly discovered the new world before them.The rest of the art work was a bit keener on picture of ships with the Red Ensign being blasted by the invincible Armada! Nobody here likes El Pirata Drake. The pirate Frances Drake. Not a mention of the Armada's visit to Orkney!!
However a great museum and well worth a visit - free !
