Camino Frances day 32: Lires to Muxia (15,26km) – THE END
Finito, lõpp, konec, loppu, beigas, capăt. 900km journey from the Pyrenees in France to the ocean at the west end of Spain. It all went a lot faster than I had expected. A month is still quite a long time. The next few days we will go to the top of this hill by the…

Camino Frances day 31: Fisterra to Lires (14,90km)
Slowly moving back to Muxia. Tomorrow is another walk just as short and then I am done. My body really feels like I have had quite enough. Need to take some time off for rest & recovery. I did all this short distance without major breaks, but walking speed did start to drop quite a…

Camino Frances day 30: Fisterra to Faro de Finisterre (6,6km)
Yes, I did take a bus from Muxia. I will spend the next 2 days hiking back to Muxia. Not a single kilometer of trail will be skipped in the end. Very pleased to have made it here. For me, it is not a proper Camino if I do not get to see the final…

Camino Frances day 29: Dumbria to Muxia (22,04km)
Quite a short walking day. Like all the days since Santiago, it is mostly on hard road surfaces and that gives more shock and micro-injuries to feet. Today was the first time I had felt like it was time I finished with hiking and took proper rest days. Tomorrow there should be a 33km hike,…

Camino Frances day 28: Santa Mariña to Dumbría (22,43km)
Fourth week on the Camino complete. This time 206km travelled in the last seven days. Not much left to go until I am finished. Today was the section where people who go straight to Finisterre split from those who visit Muxia. Suprisingly, the albergue in Dumbría is full. Usually there should be only 5 pilgrims…

Camino Frances day 27: Negreira to Santa Mariña (21,28km)
I started hiking extra late today to make sure there is plenty of sunlight. Nature is now quite actively making changes and it is a delight to see. I even took the alternative route by tiny rivers in the morning. Have never been there before because it adds a bit of daily distance. Afterwards, some…

Camino Frances day 26: Santiago de Compostela to Negreira (20,47km)
Yes, I am still going onwards. This was probably the coldest day on the Camino. The maximum temperature for the day was only +19. It was cloudy, then foggy, then mushroom rain and finally proper rainfall. My feet were soaking wet the last few kilometers. While I wanted to do the day slowly, but watching the…

Camino Portugues day 27: Hospital to Finisterre (38,8km)
Boom! I have reached “End of Earth”. A lighthouse at the most western point of Europe. The Atlantic Ocean greeted me with gorgeous sunny weather. I can’t wait to see the sun set into the ocean later from the local beach. Somehow, my body is always tuned to perform best exactly when needed most. Had…

Camino Portugues day 26: Santa Mariña to Hospital (17,8km)
My right leg is just getting worse. I have to take really short days and give it plenty of rest along the way. I know I can make it to Finisterre. I just didn’t know it was gonna be so troublesome. Pretty much from the first few kilometers, the limping started. Most of the day…

Camino Portugues day 25: Negreira to Santa Mariña (21,3km)
The views today have been astonishing. Today and tomorrow we can enjoy views from hilltops all day. The picture I took shows the valley where I slept and, since it was only seven degrees down below, then you got this beautiful white mist. Walking today was surprisingly difficult. I hoped for at least a 30km…

Camino Portugues day 24: Santiago to Negreira (20,4km)
I was aiming to have a slow day and recover. It was as good as I could hope for. I slept until 9am and really took my time before heading off. Had a big breakfast after only 7km of walking. Usually I don’t eat until 20 km. After food, I was especially slow. My right…

Camino Frances day 30: Olveiroa to Cape Finisterre (34,9km)
It’s all completely over. There is nothing but the ocean left. I am both extremely happy and sad about this. Sad because my journey is over and finished. It feels like I have just started with my first steps and suddenly it’s the finish line. Happy because I managed to pull off a 900+km hike…
