Muxia is an alternative end to the Camino. The majority choose to finish up at the religious climax of Santiago Cathedral, a minority at the traditional and mystical 'end of the Medieval world', the glorious Finisterre headland. A few, a fortunate few, journey through the relatively untravelled Camino that runs two walking days through wooded coastal hills to the north and the fishing town of Muxia.
Muxia, when it doesn't rain or fog over, is extraordinarily photogenic in the hard Spanish light. Here is a selection from the hundreds of shots I took and the thousands I could have.
"A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step" --Chinese philosopher Laozi. Likewise epics can be built out of tiny scribblings. In early 2012, I wandered Europe writing posts on what I found interesting for friends. By the end I had written the equivalent of a 1000-page book. My readers had journeyed with me and so did not ask: "how was it?" Instead we discussed what it meant. I continue scribbling. Mastodon
