The morning began misty and magical. Galicia is truly a beautiful part of Spain. Visit!
Many of the pilgrims were getting late stars after the long previous day. After coffee in Olveiroa the Camino ascended and the geography changed.
It was a rural morning until the small town of Hospital (I didn’t see any hospital ruins). One restaurant before the next 14 k meant second coffee and a snack.
Then the choice came! The route splits towards two coastal towns.
I had decided to head to Finisterre first and that’s all that E had time for, so we went left!
The Camino winds through forests, offering stunning views.
Even though we are near the end, it seems that most pilgrims prefer to stay in the moment and not venture too far into conversations of post-Camino life. I have a few new or potential ideas, but it’s not as if it’s all gotten figured out in the last 40-ish days.
The moment that the sea came into view was pretty special. A steep downhill brings you into the town of Cee (I love this name). The start of the town isn’t so pretty; there is a big factory, but then you arrive to the center and there is some charm. Another pilgrim told us his albwrgue was full, so with a last push of energy we walked on and found space right on the edge of Cee and Corcubión. By the sea!
After a rest, we found seafood for dinner and had a wander around - I put my feet in the water and it wasn’t too cold.
Tomorrow: Finisterre, aka, the end of the world!
Kilometers walked: 22.72 (Fitbit), 23 (Guidebook from the pilgrim office in Santiago), 23,6 (gronze.com).
