  1. Galicia – the gateway for charlie into Europe for ages. I used to walk past a massive house a cocaine jefe had built for him. He never had a problem from the Guardia ( I wonder why).
    Northern Galicia is a smuggler’s paradise, lots of little coves and rias – cocaine, expensive ego food that dissolves the septum.
