Walking by the Ocean – Camino de Finisterra, Spain

Beach while walking to Finisterre

This week’s Photo of the Week was inspired by Sherry’s posts about the Camino de Santiago. It brought back so many amazing and dreamy memories, and although she didn’t walk this part from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre (aka Camino de Finisterra), I am still reminded by this part the most, it was the most spiritual enhancing part for me, even more than arriving to Santiago de Compostela itself!

This was the last day of walking, 30k to Finisterre, most of them by the beach. And that picture was taken after actually going for a swim in Cee’s suburbs, because me and the ones walking with me couldn’t resist seeing the ocean and not swimming anymore :) It was an amazing day that I will never forget, and the views of that day were all so amazing!

  1. Cool shot, I’ve never been there but I did love San Sebastian.

    Safe travels.

    • I had planned to go for a day to San Sebastian while in Pamplona, but at that time I had met people that weren’t going and they were just too cool to leave them and re-meet people all over again (slightly regret that decision now :D )

      • You made the right choice, I found SS by following interesting people. When it’s the people you meet that become your map, you’re on the right path.
