Muxia and More 10/24-28

I won’t be able to get all of this in one post so I’ll be wrapping up my trip with a little surprise in a few blog posts.

After enjoying a rainy 2 days in Fisterra, I had to make the trip complete by visiting Muxia, another sweet fishing village on a bay off of the Atlantic in Spain. This coast is known by the Spaniards as the Coast of Death - obviously they hadn’t seen our Pacific coast if the name is supposed to reflect the ocean’s wildness. The weather continued to be overcast so I didn’t really get a good sunset picture. This is the best I could do

I was able to attend Mass at the church at this place in the evening and as you can see, the weather was finally beginning to clear.

The next day was spent poking around town and getting ready to catch the bus back to Santiago. This was the turn around point, the beginning of my journey home. While I was having a bite to eat, I was invited by 2 sisters from Oregon to join them. This is how the Camino works, you are only alone if you work hard at it! I ended up joining them on the bus and for dinner that night in Santiago. They pointed out this really cool image of a pilgrim caused by the light near the Cathedral.

I spent the night in my little cell in the hoity toity hotel Nextdoor to the Cathedral

And the next morning I went by bus (3€) to the Santiago airport - bound for Barcelona.
