We arrived in Finisterre yesterday. We have walked officially nearly 900 kilometres but in actual fact with all the extras we have walked I would say it was closer to 1000. We averaged 245,000 steps a week which averages 35,000 steps a day.

We originally aimed for 20 kilometres a day but we managed to exceed that by accidentally doing some 30 plus kilometre days.

What would we change? Probably not a lot. A couple of clothing items would have stayed home and a few more pegs would have been very handy. David added that he would have bought a set of ear plugs with him. The only accommodation we had booked in advance was our first night at Orisson and our last two days in Santiago. This worked to our advantage but occasionally added to the stress levels.

We have met many amazing people along the way. Some we have known for an evening, some we have seen several times too say hello and have a chat and with others we have amazing memories.

Here are some photos of our second day in Finisterre.

The morning light glistening across the harbour on another beautiful day.

On the waterfront the houses are newer and there are many restaurants.

A couple of streets in and there is a mixture of the loved and the pre-loved.

Finisterre is still a fishing village. As we walked around town we saw several men sitting, mending large fishing nets. Here are some of the fishing fleet in the harbour.

Castillo de San Carlos. In the 18th century King Carlos 3rd ordered this fortification to be built to defend the coast against attacks by foreign ships. It is now a fishing museum.

In the evening we watched the fishing boats out in the bay as the fog rolled in slowly hiding the mountains on the other side.

The cold wind began to chill us as the night moved in. We were glad we had seen the brilliant sunset last night as there would not be one tonight. Our last night in Finisterre and I didn’t want it to end.
