We set off today on the Camino Finisterre, the route from Santiago to Finisterre (“world’s end”) on the coast. There are still a fair number of pilgrims and this route continues to be well-marked, both of which are surprising to me.

Similar scenery today to what we’d seen going into Santiago, with perhaps more roadside trail. Although that elevation gain isn’t huge, most of it took place during one shortish but very steep climb midday. It was a hard day but we made it to Negreira, where we’re staying in a nice albergue.Leer más
