This will be the last blog as we are at Finisterra or what was thought to be the end of the world back in pilgrim times. The pic is the view out of our bedroom window and our final 19 mile walk wasn't all in the rain. In fact it ended in sunshine and we have a rest day tomorrow. Gallicia in the sun is a wonderful place,, very rural and unspoilt with a simple way of life. it's given me a lot of quiet time and the water is so lovely to drink and bathe in. Bits of m...

So we reach the sea and what Roger feels is the end of the walk. Yes we are still in the wet weather gear as it has rained all day for our 18 mile walk. We must be mad. We stood at the lighthouse and church where they filmed the end scene of the film The Way - highly recommended. So then a celebratory seafood meal and Albarhino and now tucked into our bedroom overlooking the sea watching Eurovision. I like Begium's entry as I like a bit of funk but not sure we ...

Gloomy photo taken this evening after a simple pilgrim meal in our hotel. It's somewhere we stayed two years ago and it seems the menu is the same but we are wise enough to avoid the Gallician stew.

Many fewer walkers make the journey beyond Santiago to go to the coast to either Finistere or Muxia. But after the bustle of Santiago it's good to be back on ...

So here we are in Santiago again. Two years on and there's still scaffolding on the cathedral. We left Padron, the home of th lovely green peppers this morning in rain with Roger expecting the usual bad language from me as I get soaked. You really can't blame me. His cheerful comments like " I do like your hair when it get wild and frizzy" and " it's not quite as bad as Rabalas " or some other town where we get rained on. And even worse " I think we're nearly ...

Look at that sky. The only comfort is that it has been a rest day and it was taken from the roof of the Parador where we are staying which is fab. The weather forecast is really terrible for the next few days. Today it's been about 12 degrees and very wet, so I really don't want to hear about how nice it is in England at the moment. There is perfect weather for walking which is slightly warm and sunny and we don't seem to have had any of that. We've been sight ...
