Walking to Finisterre

 Posted by VT

Another incredibly beautiful day.  We walked almost 14 miles today.  Hard to believe this long walk is over.  Here are a few photos taken today.

Blue shutters.  

Blue door.  With stone wolf on house.  

The last church we stopped at this morning.  

Madonna statue in the church.  

LP walking up the path leaving Cee. 

A large green lizard on top of a stone wall. 

The ocean.  Green and blue waters.  Rocks.  

VT with monster statue.  Very odd statue in the middle of the woods.  

VT peeking around a large fluffy towel.  We are always happy to see large fluffy towels.

    Aaah, the fluffy towels. Soothe them will the fluffy towels. That'll get them confessing their transgressions!

Departure Day

 Map showing the Camino routes.   We will be walking part of Norte starting just to the left of Santander (route at top shown in red).  Just under the word Norte we will take the Primitivo route (shown as a light purple color) into Santiago de Compostela.  Our calculations show we will walk approximately 300 miles.   Today (Friday) we fly to Madrid arriving Saturday morning.  From Madrid we take a train for approximately 4 hours to Santander.  From there we’ll get a taxi to Santillana Del Mar where we will stay overnight.  On Sunday we start our walk    “We should all be grateful for the beauty of this world, but more, we should take the trouble to get off the bus of life and put the soles of our feet to the soul of the world and see those sacred sites with our own eyes”. Irish Poet.     Travel safely, travel soulfully, travel gratefully… Buen Camino.
