Our taxis came on time at 6:45pm and we arrived in Fistera at 8:15pm - about 15 minutes before the sun went down over the Atlantic Ocean. What a sight! There were lots of people milling about at the Faro (lighthouse) and we sat on the rocks watching the sky turn red and the seagulls soaring over the Costa del Morte.
We had a picnic with cheese, olives, chorizo, grapes, biscuits, bread, crisps, nuts, wine, water, Fanta and Coke followed by Caprichos - almond meringue biscuits - and Santiago tart. We got back to the hotel after 11pm. If you have four people wanting to go to Finisterre at night it is worth sharing a taxi which costs €100 or €25 each. (The bus is €40)
This is a blog about 11 peregrinos walking the three most scenic sections of el Camino de Santiago in Spain. Because they don't all have long leave, two will walk the first section and four will join us in Leon to walk the last two sections section. Five will walk all three sections. September is harvest time and we are looking forward to ripe grapes, wild bramble-berries, figs, chestnuts and other Camino gifts as we walk to Santiago de Compostela.
