Finisterre to Muxia June 3 - 30 kms

Muxia is a spectacular place to finish a Camino; the raw power of nature with the blustering wind and the huge waves crashing over the massive rocks at the sanctuary is magnificent. We had walked out to this rocky point after Dayton finished his six hour, 30km walk from Finisterre. Two years ago when we were here, the day was sunny and warm but today, with the cold and the strong winds, the feeling shifted from awe inspiring to intimidating. There were a few other pilgrims doing the requisite photo op at the point and amazingly we recognized one couple as American hospitaleros that we had met two years ago in Santiago and again in Madrid. Unbelievable coincidence.

The view along the "Costa de Marte".........Coast of the dead.

 

Break time.

On the rocks at Muxia we recognized two American hospitaleros that we had met two years ago in Santiago and again in Madrid .....what are the chances?
