For many kilometres this morning we followed roads and paths that weaved their way through and around fields of maize. The maize fields stretched into fog filled valleys that made the mountains look as though they were tiny islands in a misty sea.

From our path along a ridge we followed a river on it course through the valley.

About 40 kilometres from Finisterre we walked through an ancient area where megalithism took place from 4,500 – 3000 BC. In this area there are over 100 funerary constructions. They vary in size but we’re all built using large stones which were covered in soil to create a large mound. They were built to be seen. Unfortunately even though I knew there was one across the road from the sign, in the thick bushes I couldn’t locate its position.

The roads were more open as we made our way towards the coast. Gardener Dave took his work to beautify the Camino seriously. Several times each day he would stop to water the Camino. His work didn’t stop when we reached Santiago and he continued his tireless work on his way to Finisterre.

After a short day of 19 kilometres we stayed in the small town of Hospital.

A very original looking town with more horreos than I have seen in a town of that size before.
