Wed 12 Oct - In Finisterre. Arrived at the AdP at 1345 and plan to walk the last 3.5 kms to the lighthouse on Cape Finisterre this evening so we can toast the sunset! The walk to Olveiroa yesterday was the longest `book day´ of the camino at 33.1 (35.8km adjusted for the uphills) and today we walked 30 kms to Finisterre. In fact the 3 days to here were marked as well as anywhere on the camino and the walk is prettier than most. It would make a very attractive 3-5 day hike for tourists and the Finisterre cape is very pretty (photos to come tomorrow inc all of the beaches). The last 2 days were COP and we had the full moon back so it was a delightful statrt to each day. Been for a quick bite of lunch which was a lovely long roll with chicken, herbs and peppers with a plan to buy some supplies from the local shops this evening. However, there seems to be one small problem in as much as evidently today is the anniversary of Christopher Columbus landing in America so it is a public holiday and the shops are shut! Will post again tomorrow when we get back to SdC assuming we can sort out the transport.
