Day 48
Muxia
June 7, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A lazy morning - what a treat it is not to have to pack up each morning and jam that big sleeping bag into that tiny stuff sack.

We found the correct path this morning up to the cross on Monte Corpino that we tried to find on our scramble up the hill yesterday. The view from there was amazing - it is such a beautiful place.

We went back for another seafood lunch at A Marina and was joined by Eleanor from Dublin.

We stopped at the supermarket and the bakery for some wine, bread and cheese which we had for our dinner on the terrace this evening while we watched the seagull parents and chicks on the roofs around us. They are very entertaining.

It has been such a relaxing and enjoyable few days.

Day 39
The End!
April 23 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 10 °C
Muxia is the end point of this camino for me. I won't bore anyone with further post about getting back. I may stay here a few days, before heading back to Santiago and then Porto. Muxia is a stunningly beautiful place. Have a look at the pics and vids.

Pilgrim out.Read more
Traveler Hard to believe it has been 39 days. Another one in the bag. I wish I had been able to do this one with you again. I'm getting itchy feet to walk in Sept/ Oct.

Day 48
Tag 48 Muxia und mal entspannen
June 18, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Heute hieß es mal entspannen und den Tag ruhig angehen.
Ich muss sagen das ich das auch einmal gebraucht habe.
Die letzten Tage waren teilweise schon schwerer .
Muxia ist einfach traumhaft die Kirche am Meer und das ganze feeling einfach der Wahnsinn.
Ich lag heute 1 Stunde einfach auf den Steinen traumhaft.
Heute gab es auch noch eine Prozession sehr interessant.
Sonst habe ich heute nicht viel gemacht .
Fühle mich einfach müde aber ich denke das ist normal.
Morgen geht's in Richtung Finestere wo ich übermorgen ankomme.
Mal schauen wies weitergeht.Read more

Traveler Diesen Ruhetag hat du dir echt verdient…. Viel Kraft und Motivation auf deinen weiteren Weg in Richtung Ziel.😀

Day 47
Santiago to Muxia
June 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
I had another relaxing morning laying in bed and looking out of my window to the skyline near the Cathedral. Sandra and I later walked to the bus station and caught the service to Muxia, about 90 minutes away. The weather was grey and misty and the weather app predicted 100% chance of rain all day. But when we reached the coast the sun magically appeared and the sky was blue. We are staying in lovely private rooms at Bela Muxia (another of Narelle’s exceptional recommendations).

Muxia is beautiful. There are ocean and bay views from all directions. We scrambled up a huge hill behind our accommodation and the view was amazing (my foot is finally getting better - not quite, but enough to get around more easily). We then walked along the seaside which is lined with restaurants and chose one that specialised in Galician local seafood. It was delicious and we will try another one tomorrow. Then a quick trip to the supermarket for something easy for dinner. We finished the day by watching a pair of seagulls and their three chicks on the roof across from us. Another great day!

Narelle Campbell Love Muxia and Bella Muxia. Go to the bakery in the back street if you have time. You’ll see the queue in the morning.

Traveler A fabulous day! It is such a treat to be here, and we are having fun exploring, eating, and watching local life! Thanks Narelle great recommendations. Found the bakery and have wine, bread and cheese sorted for dinner in our terrace 🙏🙏😊😊

Jan wanted to go for a swim at the beach that was about 2k before the town.
I wasn't up for a swim. It was more complicated for me, because I'd had to get fully changed, so I kept walking, checked in at Bela Muxia, showered, bought food, and got my Muxiana.Read more

Day 7
Muxia
September 18, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
What makes the area special and holy, you ask? Well, when St James was working to promote Christianity in the Iberian peninsula, he wasn’t doing very well, and was getting discouraged. The Virgin Mary appeared to him in Muxia, arriving on a stone boat, the stones you can see formed that boat. Which encouraged him to continue. The church is in the same place, a tribute to Mary. Any experts reading this may correct me, but that is how I understand the legend.Read more

Day 8
Camino Fisterre Day 5
September 19, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
I’ve included a few shots of the sunset last night. Today is 28 km, my longest walk so far. To give myself a break, I sent a pack ahead. Actually my smaller pack, with some heavier/bulkier items. That way I still had a good fitting pack and my water system, which I put extra water into. Good thing I had leftovers yesterday, I used them for a good breakfast today.Read more
Traveler Beautiful sunset, Arlene.

Muxía
October 9, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
Our pilgrimage feels complete today. Muxía is not as comercialized as Finisterre and much more peaceful. They both have 0.0 kilometer markers. The seafood was superb. We keep running into people we didn’t think we would see again. Tomorrow we convert into tourists with a lot of experiences to process. We’ll keep posting because we have neat plans, that we will enjoy all the more because of our time on the Camino.Read more

Today I took the bus to Muxía. Just like in Fisterra, it was raining when I got here but soon stopped and turned into a beautiful day. This town also has a 0km marker. I walked out there twice. The second time I brought snacks and hoped to stay for the sunset. No luck...the clouds and rain came back.Read more

Day 39
Etappe 33 - Muxia 2
October 20, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
Nach der Pilgermesse habe ich noch einen Sonnenuntergang gesehen - nicht der herkömmliche, sondern eigenartig und besonders. Die Stimmung und die Farben kann man nicht beschreiben, muss man gesehen haben.
Es heißt: wenn du am Ende der Welt bist, dann solltest du im Meer baden, Teile deiner Pilgerkleidung verbrennen und einen Sonnenuntergang sehen und du wachst am nächstenTag als neuer Mensch auf.
Fazit: baden war ich nicht (waren in den letzten Tagen genug nass), verbrennen darf man am Leuchtturm in Finesterre nichts mehr (Socken im dafür bereitgestellten Container entsorgt) und heute noch der Sonnenuntergang. Wache ich nun morgen auch als neuer Mensch auf??? Na, mal sehen!Read more
