Well, we awoke this morning to a beautiful crisp day and were treated to one of the nicest walks yet! A lateish start just before 10am then quickly out of town into the nearby (and much nicer) village of Corcubión before climbing up over the ridge to Estorde (encountered a few sheep on the way!) where we had a lovely coffe overlooking the Playa de Estorde. Quickly then through Sardiñeiro before rising again and then a final descent to the beach at Finisterre. It was fantastic to get our feet wet again – first time since Santander I think! We should have stopped at this great bar at the end of the beach but instead headed for our accommodation which seemed to be at highest point in the town!
We headed down into the town for a late lunch and discovered the the next three days are the town’s annual festival! You can see the fireworks in one of the pictures – at some stage they’ll think of letting them off at night! Checkout the size of the sound stage! Thankfully it is a long way from our hotel and our window is pointing away from it but I’m sure we’ll hear something. We head out to Lires tomorrow and Muxia after that then back to this hotel, so we will leave some stuff behind and lighten the load a bit!
11km today and 895km in total… second big milestone (Finisterre) reached and one last one to go! Lucky, because I think we are both nearly stuffed!
