11. juni, Spania ⋅ 🌬 17 °CToday is a short walk about 14 km to Finisterre. We took our time getting started enjoying the luxury of time and cooler temperatures. Kamla and I did get a little lost for a few minutes but we're thankful for it because we were on the boardwalk beside the ocean for a few minutes. The way began walking through the narrow streets of Cee before becoming a magical forest path. There was a big hill which I wasn't happy about but I reminded myself how fortunate I am to have this opportunity. As I entered the Hamlet of Estorde a picturesque beach came into sight. I spent some time sitting on the beach enjoying the sound of the gentle waves lapping the shore, admiring the incredible beauty of the colours of the water while the sun warmed everything around me. As I approached the road, I heard someone call my name, it was Kamla so we enjoyed a coffee together sitting in the most beautiful setting at a cafe on the beach. We reluctantly left the magical setting and continued on our way. We meandered through the forest paths chatting and soaking up the beauty that was all around us. As we departed the forest, the trail took us down to a pristine beach. It was at this point, we encountered a young man who had just finished a Camino and was paying it forward by preparing and sharing a delicious paella. Kamla and I gratefully accepted his offer and joined three young people from Utah finding a rock to sit on to relish this scrumptious dish. It really was a magical Camino moment. The rest of our walk was along the stunning beach with the waves gently lapping towards us. We arrived in Finisterre and found out friends who had already arrived at our destination. We went for dinner and then another long walk (about 7 km) return trip to the famous lighthouse. This is active lighthouse is one of the most powerful in all of Europe and it was believed to be the most westernpoint point of land. We were all exhausted when we returned after enjoying another fantastic day on the Camino.Les mer
