Around Fisterre

After returning to our hostel we treated ourselves to dinner at Mesón Arco da Vella, where we both had their excellent Gazpacho with Padron pepper ice cream followed by main courses of pulpo and razor clams. Celebratory wine washed it all down nicely as we looked over the harbor from the balcony of the restaurant.

In the morning we had breakfast at Batidor Pasteleria, which was packed with other pilgrims doing the same. A quick walk around the harbor before packing up and catching the bus to Santiago de Compostela.

Boarding the bus was a bit of a scene. There was a nice line until one person, roller bag in tow, jumped the line to the front and then it turned into herd mentality. Otherwise pleasant pilgrims all pushing to get ahead of each other. But there were enough seats for all and we all got on and away ok.

Next stop, Santiago de Compostela.Read more
