We decided to walk to Muxia, a coastal town 30 km to the north. It was a nice quiet walk even though we missed one turn and ended up walking along the road and not the path. We found our way back to the path and had a picnic on a new bridge that takes the place of large stepping stones, some of which are partly submerged. We arrived, found our hotel (yes a hotel, we are done with albergues).. The "bad" news was they had over booked, but the good news was they had a place for us to sleep. A modern, two bedroom apartment on the 4th floor overlooking the bay. Very nice place for the night. We got cleaned up and went to explore and found it to be quiet and peaceful. There were large rocks on the coast and the waves came crashing in and we could have sat for hours. It reminded us of how life's lessons crash around us and hopefully we are refined and get smoother around the edges. Next we walked to a high point on the point where there was a large simple rock cross and we knew that at that point we had completed our camino. Our plan was to finish in Finisterre, but we had time and walked on, not knowing at the time why, but we now know it was God's plan all along. It was now getting past 8pm so we searched for dinner and it was superb.
