Day 49: Cee to Finisterre

Mileage: 10+ miles (we both forgot to restart our Garmins at one point)
Elevation gain: 1,368+ feet (Garmin oopsie was during an incline)
Elevation loss: 1,245 feet
Weather: Sunny and warm; breezy at times
Total mileage: 597.5 feet + 2 miles back to hotel. Can I call this 600 miles?!
2025 mileage: 194 miles + 2 miles = 196 miles

As wonderful as it felt to arrive at the cathedral in Santiago, this day managed to surpass that in joy.

What with one thing and another, we didn’t leave Cee until late, and as with the walk into Cee, we were slowed down by our frequent stopping to marvel at the scenery. Since we had a shorter day planned, this was fine, and we were glad to be able to enjoy rather than rush.

We stopped for a lovely view with a lunchtime snack and were tempted to stay and play on the beach! Wet feet = blisters, though, so we carried on, passing several more beaches before we finally arrived in Finisterre. We checked into our hotel and then walked the last two miles to the lighthouse and the “end of the earth,” which I’ll cover in a second post.Les mer
