• Cee to Finisterre: +-14 km

    8 de outubro de 2024, Espanha ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    We have arrived in Finisterre, but haven't walked to the lighthouse (Faro) at the end of the world yet. Nearly there!

    Today's walk started off as dawn was breaking. Well we think so, we couldn't see the sun but it wasn't in complete darkness.

    It was a bitter-sweet walk and we were savouring every step, even when we were again, challenged by rain. Very much the same landscape, beautiful forests, hills and a few flatter, open stretches in between. Lots of running and standing water everywhere.

    We didn't see any of the regulars today, but there is a grumpy Norwegian lady (we have been seeing her for 2 days in a row) who's been barking orders at everyone to get out of the vista as she was trying to take photos. Today I just kept on walking. Enough is enough.

    Our first view of Finisterre was spectacular. We came round a corner and there she was, being pelted by rain just like us. 🙃

    We arrived around noon and walked straight to the harbour area where we found a lovely little restaurant and had fish for lunch. Finisterre is a little fishing village and well known for fresh seafood. Mariette ordered sole and I tried scorpion fish for the first time. Delicious.

    Finisterre will be our base for the next 2 nights. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment and have been astounded how lovely the owners are. Their daughter insisted in picking us up at the restaurant after we finished lunch, then took us to the post office to pick up our baggage and delivered us to the apartment, showed us around with a promise to pick us up again on Thursday to deliver our luggage back to the post office.

    Dinner was at a restaurant 50m from the apartment, which we were thankful for as it was raining very hard.
    There was only one item on the menu: fish and salad, which we were pretty happy about. The restaurant is in winding down mode as they will close for the winter season in 2 days.

    Tomorrow: the lighthouse and off to the tourist office to get our Fisterrana certificates.
