My second night in town, I walked a final 3 km to the 0 km mark - the lighthouse at the "end of the world". A gorgeous walk and the amazing experience of watching the sun go down over the ocean in the west and seeing the moon come up in the east. The photos don't even come close to conveyingRead more

Back in the day, explorers believed this was where the land ended on the west coast. Many pilgrims continue to walk from Santiago to reach this point, typically taking 3 days to do so.

I found a beautiful boutique hotel to splurge on (€60 per night) just off of the plaza and had a long soak in the bath. I also wasted no time in finding a place to get a pedicure. Transition from pilgrim to tourist went very smoothly. Santiago is a beautiful city.

A lovely walk this morning. The whole "family" stuck together for the entire walk so we could all arrive together. Bittersweet, of course. Glad to reach the destination, but very sad to have it ending.
Reaching the big plaza in front of the Cathedral de Santiago was a little crazy. WeRead more
Connie ShannonFunny ending. But what a wonderful trek and experience!! And had it ended peacefully, would have been harder to end it. Cannot wait to see you and hear more! 😙😙
October 21, 2016 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 66 °FBeen seeing many of these the past week. Horreos were/are used for storing harvested crops and grains. Many of them have looked unused, but there have been a couple that appear to be storing corn.

20.5 miles, my longest day! Whew. More beautiful scenery and critters. Tomorrow we're scheduled to reach our destination, Santiago. Can't believe it's gone so quickly.

This region is known for it's delicious octopus (pulpo). It is lightly boiled, then seasoned and grilled, and was indeed very tasty. We had quite a feast!
