These pages contain photos, commentary and (you know me) random musings from a trip my wife and I took to Spain in March 2024. The main purpose of the trip was to “complete the staff work” we started by walking the Camino Francés. Having done the walk to Santiago de Compostela, we undertook a day trip, by coach, to Muxia and Finisterre, coastal locations very much steeped in the lore of the Camino de Santiago. Having done the 500-odd miles to Santiago, this seemed like cheating, so we formulated the plan to go back and Do It Properly, on foot (as shown in the map above). As well as the actual walking bit, we decided it would be a good idea to play the tourist as well, and visit nearby Galician towns A Coruña and Lugo (ringed in red) as part of the same outing.
