Finistere is the town on the coast of death, where pilgrims viewed it as the end of the known world , centuries ago, they knew no different, and this was as far as the earth went.
Known as the Costa da Morte, ( the death coast) many pilgrims walked this final Way to discard their old belongings and start anew,
The headland that juts out into the sea, was already a place of mystery and relevance for the Celts, the Phoenicians, and the Romans, a mystical place where they celebrated Sun, and fertility rites.
The discovery of the apostles tomb (St James)awoke a new fascination with this place, and it abounds with legends of St James and his work here.
This is the most North western point of the region of Galicia,  and in 2007 the cape of Finistere was included in the list of European Heritage due to its unique location and history.
Tomorrow I set out to go there, and finish my journey on the cliffs above the town.

I am actually restless to start walking again, I will embrace

this last leg of this 1000 mile life changing adventure.

 embrace  this last leg these last few days.
