Day 32 walking into Santiago!

So we left our Albergue Espiritu Xacebeo early this morning for our final walk, the sky was blue and the sun was out but there was a chill in the air and windy at times!
We initially walked through forest tracks and uphill to walk around the airport. It was a strange and elated feeling to be walking for the last day on the Camino. There were groups of youngster walking who were fairly vocal singing and enjoying themselves. In fact the way in was fairly green and did switch to country lanes, and then turned more urban for the last 7Km or so. There was lovely viewing point on the way in and you can just make out the twin towers of Santiago cathedral.
It was strange to finally arrive here and we did have little trouble locating the front of the cathedral (?!) and the pilgrims office. Of course we located them and proudly obtained our Compostela! The square in front of the cathedral was full of celebrating pilgrims and quite a festive atmosphere 😊
David arrived safely and we had lovely meal the three of us together. We have day trip tomorrow to the coast or end of the world Finistere, then David and I bus down to Porto Wednesday morning and then into Lisbon to meet old school friends on Friday for some proper R and R!
