After reaching Santiago, there is an option to keep walking to the Atlantic coast. It is either three hard days walking, or four easier days or, as we did it, one hard day, one taxi ride and two nice short days. After arriving in Finisterre, we spent one day just doing nothing, and then walked to Muxia, the end of the road for the Camino.
Ana, Justine and Brent did the hard three days and caught up with us in Finisterre. Justine had to head out from Finisterre, so it was down to just Sherry and I plus Ana and Brent.
As usual, the photos are in reverse order, so start from the bottom if you want to see these in chronological order.

 |
| A lot of people do Muxia to Finisterre, instead of Finisterre to Muxia, so the signs point in both directins. |
