Camino Dos Faros - Stage 27

What an incredible finale to the walking trip!

We some to blue skies and easy walking to Lires, where we joined up briefly with the Camino de Fisterra and stopped for coffee at a beautiful cafe loaded with pilgrims walking to Muxia. We watched a group stretch before heading off, and saw a beer delivery by tractor (with an incredibly awesome dog platform on the back, see picture).

The path out of town gained elevation quickly, opening up views of the coast back to Cabo Touriñán and ahead to Praia do Rostro where we walked the beach and climbed to Punta de Rostro for lunch.

Glorious, but at times hot, hiking along the cliffs above crashing waves commenced. The trail was in mostly great condition, though at times rocky. Minimal overgrowth today seemed to change the entire nature of the day for the better!

A steep climb to Veladoiro, a radio tower, opened up views of Fisterra and the peninsula, our final destination for the walking trip. But first a long traverse and step decent to the beach, where we detoured into town, checked into our hotel, dropped some weight from the packs, and then set back out to finish the round trip to Faro de Fisterra, stopping first at the south summit of Monte Facho before heading down to touch the lighthouse and tag kilometer post zero!
