\nHistorically, and according to the original Apostle James legend, Cape Faro is the actual end of the Camino walk.  Near the point of the cape there is a Camino waypoint marker with the distance marked as 0.00km. <\/p>\n

Santiago became the de facto end several hundred years into the 1st century when the Cathedral was built there.   <\/p>\n

I took the bus here from Muxia this morning, having declared my Camino walk finished back in Santiago about 20km from here. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCape Faro is actually another 3+km walk on a gravel path beyond the town of Finesterre.  I didn’t realize this as I swapped my walking shoes for my 5-finger shoes when leaving the alburgue earlier.  5 finger shoes are not optimal for distance walking on a gravelly path.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The windswept pilgrim is iconic on the Camino and makes its presence in a dramatic sculpture near the cape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFinisterre’a fishing history goes back  even before its destination for pilgrims.  The waterfront is primarily taken up with wharfs for offloading and processing fresh fish. <\/p>\n

The rest of the town is dominated by the tourist industry.  With lots of alburgues,  seafood restaurants, and souvenir shops.  <\/p>\n

My Aubergue for the night, Cabo da Vila…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHas several cats roaming around…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n…which expressed an interest in my tuna fish salad…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTomorrow I bus back to Santiago for one night and then fly to Bilbao for a few days.<\/p>\n

Buen Camino,<\/p>\n
