21st June
Cee to Finisterre 13k

The day started with a wander along the seafront before the climbing began.  It wasn't really too bad but we'd rushed a bit yesterday so our legs were fatigued.

It didn't take too long to reap the rewards of our labours with the views we'd been waiting for.  We arrived at the beach called  Praia de Langosteira and walked its 2k length bare foot and paddled in the cool clear water.....bliss!

We had arrived at Finisterre.  It was believed to be the end of the earth and I can understand why as in the evening we went 3k up to the lighthouse and sat on a rock high above the sea and watched the sun set.  As the sun slowly began to drop there seemed to be a space between the sea and the sky, perhaps it's the space that people thought separated the known and unknown worlds?  As the sun starts to touch the sea it seems the sea bends around it for a few seconds. We felt privileged to be there tonight and not a cloud to disturb the view either.

This would have been a great place to finish our pilgrimage but we had already decided to continue on and so tomorrow we head into our final day of walking and go to Muxia.
