To Finisterre Lighthouse: +-7km return

We completed the Camino Finisterre today. It feels like a dream, can't believe we did it!

We patiently waited this morning for the weather to clear. It was foggy and spitting this morning but was forecasted to clear by mid-afternoon. Dealing with Hurricane Kirk at the moment. It seems they are coming through fast and furious.

We explored Finisterre a bit this morning and visited the tourist office in town and received our Fisteranna certificate after the necessary checks.

On our way there, we saw our Belgian friend again. He looked happy to see us and seemed very relaxed and in a much improved frame of mind; he completed his walk via Muxia to Finisterre, yesterday. He returns to Santiago tomorrow and then back to Belgium the day after.

Finally, we set off for the lighthouse at 4pm with beautiful blue skies.

We arrived at kilometre 0, just before the lighthouse around 5pm. We are very happy but a bit dazed by it all. We had a celebratory glass of wine at the pub next to the lighthouse hotel before walking back down the hill.

Dinner was Galician style cod at a restaurant at the harbour, then back to our apartment to pack as we catch the bus to Muxia mid-morning tomorrow.

Friday we are off to Santiago again for the day and Friday night we fly to Paris for 2 days before returning to Melbourne on Monday.

We are asking ourselves what will we do now? Already, today it felt strange not to be up and about at the crack of dawn, packing our bags and prepping our feet for a long walk. It felt so luxurious to be able to stay in bed a little longer.

We are planning to keep up our fitness levels though, and are already thinking of another Camino next year. Whether it will happen, time will tell.

Here's our Relive of today's short walk:
