Bus to Finisterra

In the very old days, the world was flat and the ocean dropped off the side of the Earth. The Romans named this prominence “The End of the Earth” - Finisterra. Pilgrims would come here, bathe in the ocean to wash away their sins, marvel that they made it to the end, then turn around and go home.

Now there’s a light house, a hotel, a souvenir shop and a stone pillar marking the zero kilometer point. You have to stand in line to get a photo as bus after bus of folks not needing to wash away sins come here for a ceremonial completion. There are a few intrepid souls that walk the extra miles from Santiago. Bless them and their sins.

The bus tour took us to a number of picturesque stops along the way.
