Post Camino

Fisterra to Cape Finisterre - 6 kms return

Today we walked from the village of Fisterra to the lighthouse at Cape Finisterre - to the end of the world.
This walk was the only time we had to retrace our steps. It was also the only time we walked south. Before, on the Camino Francés, we walked westwards every day, never having to turn and retrace our steps.

On the walk out to the lighthouse

A medieval pilgrim battling the elements on his way to the lighthouse. We were fortunate as after yesterday's wild weather today was calm and sunny day. 

Looking towards the lighthouse - a hotel sitting in front.

At the 0 kms marker - it didn't really apply to us as we didn't walk from Santiago de Compostela.

A bronze boot. It's frowned upon now but some pilgrims used to burn their boots and the clothes that they had lived in during their Camino ...and some still do.

Looking back to the lighthouse and the hotel in front of it as we start our walk back to Fisterra

Nearly back in Fisterra
