Although it's only ~15km from Cee to the town of Finisterre it's another 3km to the lighthouse and milepost zero, so by afternoon we’d walked 22km. The morning was clear, windy and cool. We had coffee and cookies in the Albergue and then stopped in Corcubion after 2km for pastry and coffee. Then the route crossed the peninsula into the next bay, around that and crossed another peninsula to have our first view of Finisterre and the lighthouse at “the end of the earth”. We had a cerveza con limon at the beach and walked along a nice paved path into Finisterre. Albergue Cabo da Vila is smallish and well equipped. We dropped off our backpacks, went to the tourist office to pickup our certificates of completion, had a light lunch on the harbor and then walked ~3km to the Finisterre lighthouse. Views were amazing! Along the way we saw quite a few familiar faces, took lots of photos and had a beer on the terrace near the lighthouse. Back in Finisterre we cleaned up, dropped off laundry and relaxed in the common area.
