Camino Francés Day 37 – Olveiroa to Muxia

Last night the rain was relentless and didn’t stop until the early hours. I was having flash backs to the West Highland Way! The forecast predicted it to continue raining in the morning so we planned to leave at 8am once the sun had risen.

Today the route was undulating especially the last 10km or so. The path was mainly through woodlands with only small sections on the road.

We came to the fork in the road, one way to Fisterra, the other to Muxia. We planned to do Muxia then tomorrow to Fisterra. Both are by the coast, but Fisterra is the true end. Muxia had really been made more popular due to the film.

As we reached Dumbria it started to rain on and off until about 1pm when the sun came out and remained.

One thing you notice after spending so much time in the clean fresh air, your sense of smell becomes more acute. This was emphasised at 4km from the coast, I could smell the sea air!

The route brings you to the coast but you have a further 6km to walk to get to the peninsula where Muxia sits. I arrived about 5.30. I took some pictures before booking into the albergue, then returning at sunset.

After spending 5 weeks with me, I think Marcus has had enough!

Tomorrow will be the last day of walking.
