Santiago to Fisterra

This morning we went by bus from Santiago to the town of Fisterra, on the Cape of Finisterre. The names of both the town and the Cape come from the Latin finis terrae - end of the land. Many pilgrims walk out to Finisterre to complete their pilgrimage but we decided that seven weeks of walking was enough for now 😊
Our bus trip took 2.5 hours and was lovely as it took us through treed areas then in and around the bays on the coast. We passed through quite heavy rain, the sky dark with clouds, but the sky out to the coast looked clear and we arrived in beautiful sunshine. We are lucky to be staying in a great apartment for only fraction more than staying in an albergue.

We watched the fishing boats come in with their catches - trays of fish of various sizes and one of roe. They were all sitting in ice. They also catch octopus, crabs and lobsters.

 For sale - a great do-upperer

Pappy has a great do-upperer too. He'll have to wrap up well until he gets it snug and warm but he's got a smiley face on the door and it's in such a beautiful seaside town.

Meet Polly, standing on the left, Susie sitting down, and Bruno. Three rescue greyhounds travelling with their mother and father in a camper from the UK. They even have their own passports. They have walked several sections of the Camino - walking 10 kilometres per day.
