Beautiful End to My Camino

It was fitting to end my walk from Irun here and observe the tokens of other walkers who had completed their journey for varied reasons. Happy that the dumping of clothing has been abandoned. It was a highlight to hear someone playing a digeridoo at the end of the earth...thanks Pedro. The final 3 km walk was from town..without a backpack ...was a relief !! Glad I did this walk to Finnesterra.

    Truly the End of the World
    If you are walking the Camino, this is the last stop, as evidenced by the bronze pilgrim’s boot behind the lighthouse. It is a lovely walk out from Fisterre and an even better place to sit, looking out from what the pagans thought was the end of the world. You can understand when you sit there. Do not just stop at the lighthouse. Walk down the steps to its left, and there you will find the boot, an altar, and an amazing horizon to contemplate. When we were there in May, we had that area basically to ourselves.

    Rainbow country at the end of the world...
    Though it is not really the westernmost point of the coast, at one time it was what people considered the end of the world as they did in Brittany...the road along the coast provides a good look at small villages and the Lighthouse is out there. The views are beautiful on sunny days but we were blessed with mixtures of sun and rain and were treated to the most rainbows I have ever seen in one day to the extent I named it rainbow country. I would highly recommend going off season, the number of restaurants is suggestive of high passage during the summer months.
