Filmed from on top of the Castle of the Counts of Andrade in Pontedeume, Galicia, Spain. I always wanted to Visit this Castle so in 2012 I did. Dressed as a Count (or rather as a Knight) I'm so puffed out from climbing the long wooden staircase & it was windy too.

This Castle built on a giant rock purched in the hills above Pontedeume is the Castle of the Counts of Andrade. The Counts (my ancestors? well maybe) built this Castle in 1369 by Fernan Perez de Andrade III, Although they didn't live here (they lived in the former Palace where the Torreon (what is left of the Palace) is by the river Eume & the Bridge they built to cross it (collecting a Toll for entering their land)
There is a Legend about this Castle, A young Nobel girl fell in love with a mute pauper. The Counts son wanted her for himself but the rejection and discovery of an elopement led to the Counts son locking her & her lover in the Castle. Their remains were later found in embracing one another. I only found this out on leaving the castle. But it explained the shiver on the back of my kneck & tingle in my bones walking through there dressed as a Knight.

The Medieval Bridge over the Ume River lends its name to PONTEDEUME, Built by the Andrade Counts, to cross it you would have to pay a toll to the Counts of ANDRADE. This city is part of the Santiago de Compostela Pilgrims Trail hence the Clam shell which is the Pilgrims Logo is seen everywhere.
