Fisterra

The end of the known world

Friday
Fisterra or Finisterre was known to the ancients as the end of the world. After an arduous 3 hour bus ride to get there I can see why. The scenery along the way was stunning, crystal clear blue seas, white sand beaches, fishing villages. Just stunning!

Saturday
Took an English language guided tour of Santiago today. Only four people in the group and our guide, Italo, was a font of information. A great way to learn much more about the history, legends and origins of our locale.

The markets were in full swing today with mountains of fresh, local produce. Especially seafood.
