Today we had breakfast downstairs in our hotel again, and visited with
a British couple who are leaving for Santiago today. We walked around Fisterre (dialect for Finisterra),
got a police report for Don’s camera, got a sello
(last one!) from last night’s sea captain, bought cheese and raisin bread at
the marina outdoor market, bought watermelon, and ate at our hotel dining room.
At
4:30 p.m., we went to the travel agency for our guided tour with Paloma (Ruta
de los peregrinos Final del camino): info@mardegalicil.com The tour included visiting the
Gothic-Romanesque (12th Century) church, María das Areas (Galician for María
de las arenas) and Portela cemetery, The Hermitage of St. William (the pilgrim),
“Hermita de San Guillermo,” which might have originally been a pagan site where
the light of the Spring Solstice first strikes, in a direct line with a
mountain across the peninsula and the door of the Santiago Cathedral). We then approached El Faro (lighthouse) from above—neat! We walked around (she took our photos) and
had water before returning (her boss picked us up) to town! PTL!
We enjoyed a fish
dinner at the neat Tira de Cordel
again, PTL, and walked home!
