We quic http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Galicia/Cape-Finisterre/blog-300076.html We pulled into a camping site in Gijon on June 18th. Our camp site overlooked the sea and that evening we had sloppy joe's on the bbq and watched a new swell roll in. We stayed here for two nights just bummin around and taking day trips to nearby towns. We found this old abandoned pier and jumped off of it into the ocean. On the second evening I surfed a point break on the edge of the town beach http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Galicia/Cape-Finisterre/blog-294105.html In medieval times pilgrims who got to Santiago and still wanted to do some walking before they walked all the way home again Im so glad we have planes now walked to Finisterre which was the end of the known world and pretty special because you could see the sun disappearing into the ocean at the end of the day and apparently the waves crashing masked the sound of the water pouring off the end http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Galicia/Cape-Finisterre/blog-282815.html Im at the end of the world or rather thats what they used to think Finisterra Lands End is perched on the most western point of the European continent its also the last port of call for pilgrims who think that reaching Santiago just wasnt enough another 3 days of walking or 4 .5 hours of cycling will find you in this idylic fishing village watching the sun set over the Atlantic Oc http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Galicia/Cape-Finisterre/blog-69870.html
