To the end of the world!
We made one final excursion on our camino journey. We took a bus to the western coast of Spain to Finisterre. The name of the town comes from the Latin finis + terra meaning “the end of the earth.” In medieval Europe they thought that this quite literally was the end of the earth. It makes sense because when you are on the coast it appears as if the ocean just falls off at the horizon and there is nothing else out there.
Originally, we were hoping to have time to walk here. However, due to time constraints it will have to wait for another day. We were able, though, to see the official 0 km sign.
Coming here was a wonderful end to this adventure. We visited the ocean and even went for a swim in the fairly cold water.
We walked to the lighthouse.
I enjoyed a wonderful and fresh “fish of the day” dinner.
And it was all capped off with a beautiful sunset.
It was a beautiful day of relaxation, of fun and of reflection. The sun may have set on this Camino, but we are still all pilgrims walking our own caminos every day.
Buen Camino!
Once again I appreciate your pictures and summaries.
