The walk to Muxia was sunny, but well shaded along pastoral lanes and forestry roads. Most of the trail was a gentle incline to a ridge of windmills that overlooked the Atlantic Ocean and Muxia, tucked away on its rocky peninsula.
We arrived early, just after 12:00, checked into our Albergue, then walked out to the Sanctuary de Nuestra Sra de la Barca. (our lady of the boat), a church and lighthouse at the end of the peninsula. On our way back through town we stopped for a feast of cod and Galician scallops.
Here ends the Camino Finisterre and Muxia; tomorrow we begin the Camino Dos Faros (the way of lighthouses).
