      In Muxia

      14 maj, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

      I have walked from Finisterre to Muxia (or the reverse) at least 5 times. 30 km, 600m. This time it was hard. The ascent at the end was a killer for me. If I’m lucky enough to walk this route again, I will split those 30 km in half. The little town of Lires, which used to have one old pensión and café, has had a small camino explosion.

      The weather was fine, with a little drizzle as I left and a few drops as I arrived. But nothing in between. I took a detour to the Lires beach, hoping the bar would be open, but it wasn’t. So I sat on a bench, looking out at the beautiful water, chomping on some nuts and drinking water, instead of my longed-for Fanta de Limón.

      I wasn’t feeling particularly social when I arrived, and after a good lunch alone of sea bass and razor clams, I walked out to the church on the rocky point. It’s a spectacular setting. The waves were ferociously pounding on the rocks and the tide was so high it would have been dangerous to walk out on any of them like I usually do. So I just sat, with the wind blowing like crazy and contemplated. The end of another walk —it always happens. No profound revelations after this month of walking, just a sense that life is good and that I am extremely lucky to have been able to walk another beautiful camino.

      It’s raining here and it looks like sunset will happen behind a thick veil of clouds. But I’m not disappointed because this has been a really full camino.

      Tag 48 Muxia und mal entspannen

      18 juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 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.

      Muxia

      7 juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 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.

      Muxía á Dumbria

      26 juli 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Rückwärts laufen ist gar nicht so einfach. Die Markierungen fehlen und an anderen Pilgern kann man sich nicht orientieren. Die ersten 10 km waren ein Spaziergang, obwohl ein paar mal verlaufen. Ab dem letzten Cerveza wurde es etwas anstrengend.
      Wir machen jetzt Siesta und gehen dann einkaufen. Die Wäsche ist in einer Maschine. Arbeit für heute erledigt.
      Celin ist ein guter Leader und läuft vorne weg. Bin noch nicht eingelaufen und kürzere Beine hab ich auch noch😫😂

      Lago to O Logoso

      17 september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      More farming lessons: they put the corn harvest in pits, drive over it to flatten it, then put plastic over. Good cattle feed. Corn seems to be the primary crop in this area. Corn ➡️ cows ➡️ manure ➡️ corn. The circle of life. I did see sheep as well. And one heron, can you find it? The cemeteries here are beautiful.Läs mer

      Camino Fisterre Day 4

      18 september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      I met two Canadians yesterday- Dennis and Carl, travelling with Pirash from Hungary. We had beer 🍺 together. Nancy and I made a pasta dinner in the albergue kitchen. Nice little town but not much for restaurants. The Xunta albergue is quite nice, very modern. More pilgrims than yesterday but not quite full. Today I will see the ocean!Läs mer

      As Lires to Buxan

      19 september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      I thought we were finished with hills but we were not. As the temperature climbed, so did we. Or at least lots of ups and downs. There was the ocean now and then, to get my hopes up. And a small lumber operation. Then something wonderful! A donativo rest stop. At first I thought it was a sketchy bar, then the fellow wouldn’t take our money, pointing instead to the donation jar. It was very well stocked, and came at just the right time. Great ambiance, once we knew it wasn’t a sketchy bar. Check out the video.Läs mer

      Dumbria to Muxia (23km)

      7 oktober 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Short day, not too much elevation and the destination is 5*****. Another day of going through small hamlets, usually connected by dirt paths up and down and around the monte. I met an elderly señora waiting for the grocery store truck. She told me she would not be able to stay in the village if it weren’t for these wandering, honking trucks. And I talked for a while with a man cutting the “maleza” with a scythe. He gave me a few basic pointers, but I declined the chance to whack with it, especially when I saw how sharp it was.

      There’s a beautiful Romanesque church in Moraime, about 5 km before town. My favorite piece is the Last Supper depicted over a side doorway. I have never been able to get inside, but if I had been willing to stick around for about three hours, I could’ve gotten in today with the women coming to set up for a wedding tomorrow. Maybe next time.

      The entrance into Muxia is nice. Truth be told, it’s not a very picturesque place, except for the sanctuary at the tip on the rocks. Very good seafood restaurants, and a pretty lively atmosphere. Since my room in the hospital wasn’t ready when I arrived, I just dropped off my backpack and went out to the sanctuary. Sitting on those rocks and watching the waves crash is a really nice place to reflect on things. Even on a windy cloudy day.

      I will go back for sunset but it might be a washout.

      Faro Touriñán

      10 december 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      ...oder, der westlichste Punkt auf dem spanischen Festland.

      Ein schmaler Singletrack durch Wald und Flur führte uns zum Ziel für heute...das Cabo Touriñán mit gleichnamigen Leuchtturm...und kleinem Parkplatz, der über Nacht uns gehörte. Ein Träumchen, direkt unterm Faro...

      Vielfach wird angenommen das der westlichste Punkt das Kap Fisterra sei, das stimmt aber nicht. Dabei verhält es sich ähnlich wie beim Nordkap, das ist auch nicht der nördlichste Punkt.

      Das Kap und das Meer waren relativ ruhig und wir konnten in Ruhe einen Spaziergang machen. Vereinzelte Angler standen weit unterhalb auf vorgelagerten Felsen...ihr Fang konnte später am Abend von uns bewundert werden.

      Der gefangene Fisch wurde vor Ort von ihnen gegrillt und verspeist. Danach waren wir allein und genossen den Abend.

      Day 41 - Foxy lady 🦊

      26 oktober 2022, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill

      Day 41 - Muxia to Morpeguite - by car

      Shockingly, it was raining again this morning. This did not stop me from walking along the front and down to the small beach at the harbour. I was determined to get my feet in the water today - and I did! I hung out watching a husband and wife raking for clams (and confirmed that was what they were looking for), and just took time to enjoy the drizzle and the (wet) sand under my toes.

      Some hot chocolate and churros helped to take the chill off my bones before venturing out again.

      As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to go back to the Sanctuary de A Barca and have another look at those rocks that the Virgin came to Muxia in as a stone boat. As I got up the hill, the sun came out and remained shining most of the rest of the morning.

      Unfortunately, I couldn’t get high enough to actually make the specific stones out. I also could not find the Fonte de Pel where the sick came to wash before going to A Barca. I did however get up to the lookout point, and it was worth every step. Absolutely amazing 360 degree views! Over the sea, A Barca and the lighthouse, the harbour and the town. Incredible. I took a bunch of photos (too many as usual) and a video or three while standing there in the wind, on the highest point of the area.

      Back to town to collect my backpack and head to the grocery store. I wanted to grab a few things to bring home that are a lot less expensive here than there - specifically saffron and sea salt flakes. Both specialty items at home that cost a bomb. I also grabbed a few things for when at The Little Fox House that I had been craving.

      I headed over to Tracy’s shop in town so I could catch a lift back to the house with her, saving me the trouble of a bus ride.

      The Little Fox House is a donativo (by donation only) post-Camino pilgrim retreat. A place to relax, reflect and process your Camino journey before moving on - either home or with other parts of your journey. Tracy Saunders - the owner - is a retired psychoanalyst and and practitioner of clinical hypnosis. She is also a writer with about 10 books under her belt, including a couple of best-sellers. In addition to running The Little Fox House, Tracy also has a shop in Muxia called Celtic, Wicca & Bling. Very cool little shop! Tonight there is only one guest (from Kentucky) but she leaves tomorrow as does Tracy for her long weekend in Malaga with her family. Hence my volunteer duties. I am in charge of the house, feeding pilgrims, cleaning house and changing beds, cat mum to Tracy’s 4 furry friends and all-round house sitter. There may be other pilgrims coming in, but at this time, none are booked (one just cancelled). It’s unusual for the rooms not to be booked, as it is a popular stop for pilgrims after their Camino or, those enroute to Muxia or Finesterre. There is a 2 night minimum and a 4 night maximum stay.

      The three of us had a lovely dinner, good wine and good company. All is ready for me to take over, tomorrow.
