onwards to Muxia (by car)

Tuesday again dawned bright sunny and warm. This was the the beginning of the end of our wonderful journey. Having the benefit of a car the youngest son drove his father up to Monte Gozo whilst 2 of us walked. The day the 3 amigas and the newbies had walked there as part of our Camino had been very rainy and overcast so we decided to go back and visit in the sunshine and also to give the husband a chance to go there as health issues prevented him from walking all but very short flat spells.

The views were indeed beautiful and we spent quite a while before departing for the city once again as the time had come for the first of us to go home. Grainne departed back to Ireland sharing her flight with many of those we had met on our Camino.

So the remaining 5 of us decided to make our journey to the "end of the earth" and although it is Finsterre that actually claims this title, our time was limited, so we decided to go to Muxia as we had fell in love with this place when we had seen it in the film "The Way". Muxia reminded us so much of the beauty of Donegal in Ireland.

This was another very special place which gave me a sense of completeness. We wandered over the rocks for ages, viewed the chapel, walked to the monument and deposited our pebbles from Ireland that I had carried all the way on our Camino for our close family and friends and their special intentions. Some very special memories were made at Muxia, I would love to go back there some day.

I love living so close to the ocean and I felt so at home in Muxia.
