We took a long walk out of town following the arrows that took us in a horseshoe loop.
We should instead have cut across the car park/ bus station.
The irony was we were in the nice red cafe having breakfast and the pavement walking was very difficult with pot holes and sudden kerb drops which do the 9am ankles no good, ha ha.
Quickly you are in Concubion again taking a wee fetour for a church and then climbing up and out of town over through the forest and down into the first views of Finisterre for the day.
The sun was making the lighting so easy.
We stopped all the time to take photos.
The truth is I put the camera away and just stared.
Once we found the first open cafe we sat and stared a bit more.
This beach, the boardwalk, stunning.
January, and we expected rain and it is all sunshine and disrobing into shorts.
We walked round the house and up into the forest again above the town and then down over the road into the beach.
Then across the road and back down to the beach.
Its simply stunning and we look like our wee short walk is getting us to arrive for 2pm no problem.
Finisterre is pretty much closed so we did a small pub crawl.
There was one stand out pub.
We'll visit the Italian in his pirate ship pub again.
Last pub was not serving but we found another and got a quick half before the 3 hour bus.
The best strategy is to get the bus to Cee or even an hour down the road.
In fact, I'd say we should make the bus tour back part of the camino.
There are 4 great looking pub stops so you just get off the bus, go to the pub, sit there and wait for the next bus.
Instead of a 3 hour journey you can make it a 4 drink 6 hour journey.
The bus takes you into Santiago bus station so always book somewhere like the Alda which is nearby and also on the road to the airport. The 6B bus stop is right outside the hotel.
