Today I realized just how little I have been in a moving vehicle over the past six weeks.
We've headed down to the coastal towns of Muxia & Finisterre, billed as the "end of the world." While we could have walked (it is its own Camino) we've opted for the 1-day bus tour. On the way we got the "Cliff Notes" of what the walk might be like- small pristine villages, coastal cliffs, a waterfall, fishing villages, historic churches, eucalyptus forests & beaches.
Muxia, a picturesque fishing village is known for its rocky point where the rustic Nosa Senora da Barca church sits. Legend has it that Mary appeared to St. James here. There is also the Pedra dos Namorados where couples come to declare their love.
I preferred Finisterre with its expanse of wild ocean and lonesome lighthouse on a bluff. The town is a lovely fishing village wrapped around a marina dotted with seafood restaurants. Here, we enjoyed our final pulpo & toasted our adventure. The lighthouse is a popular spot for pilgrims to cme at sunset & contemplate their journey, revel in satisfaction, give thanks for those they have met & welcome their next adventure. Sounds like a grand idea!
