Fisterra to Muxia ...

After a few day's rest and yesterday's wander up to the lighthouse, along to the sacred stones and back home, the feet are fit for some more work and the weather looks fair for a walk along to Muxia ... the cast at the Espiral changes as the Italian folks take the bus to Santiago, Nil prepares supper, Mark arrives from Santiago via Cee  and Northern Ireland .... Hans Christian from Santa Marina via Denmark, having done the Santiago walk in two days, hence his rather knackered state ...

This morning porridge is made, Pietro prepares for Muxia with a plateful and we set off late enough, just before 9 ... his plan is to follow the lighthouse way, considerably more strenuous and scenic than the marked Way ... and since philosophy is on the agenda it's upping and downing, sometimes almost vertically along the cliffs to Lirres, the halfway point and parting of the ways ... menu del dia and rest ... he heads on to lie in nature, eat a picnic, maybe sleep outside later ... a beautiful soul ...

Afternoon 15 is inland, off road, through woodland ... feet and legs happy enough ... Albergue Delfin calls, run by Rose, a pilgrim from Hungary ... only two tonight,  Dieter on the early bus to Santiago ... an option, though a wander back via Dumbria more likely ... the morning will decide, but the energy is moving towards a Santander crossing next Monday and a few days at Brockwood Park, before returning to the neglected house on Railway Terrace and the bookshelves required to release the library from its boxes ...
