Most pilgrims end their long journey in Santiago, but a few continue on to Fisterre (end of the world), a tiny seaside village, which was in ancient times considered to be the most western point in Europe. We also traveled there, and to Muxia, but in the cushiony comfort of a tour bus. This was a fun and relaxing method of travel compared to our long days of walking.
As we were getting ready for our day trip to Fisterre, we walked out to the plaza in front of the cathedral and in the predawn light saw about eight horses and riders gathered on the square preparing for their journey. The last rider to leave the plaza, on a sleek dark horse with bright taped leggings high stepped all the way out of the plaza though the archway.
Today we take a bus down to Porto, Portugal and plan the next stage of our 90 days in Europe.

Portugal is beautiful. Our personal favorite place (besides Lisbon) was Sagres on the South Atlantic coast, where Henry the Navigator ran a school for sailors and explorers. Enjoy!
