Beyond Finesterre to the lighthouse at the real end of the world (We 15 Oct)

Walked up to the lighthouse marking the real end of the world, about 3.5 km from town.  Sauntered around town and had a coffee in a place that supposed to serve great seafood, but when we returned for lunch, he told us the kitchen's closed for the season.  Finesterre is pretty much a summer resort.

Poked around the waterfront where the seafood arrives freshly caught:

Then we headed up, passing this monument to the pilgrims, with the lighthouse just visible behind the hill in the centre right of the picture:

The km marker says it all... Part of the lighthouse in behind:

Interesting critters up here.  Some with two eyes sticking out:

And some with two horns:

Even the lighthouse has two horns:

Really a beautiful spot:

Perfect for a pose:

Apparently, this is an identical marker to one in Jerusalem:

Walking back to town, the mist was rolling back in:

Lunch was at one of the many seaside cafes that look like tourist traps... they are.  Seafood soup was full of mussels, squid, octopus, clams, but was overdone and not great.  Jan had spaghetti that seemed better:

After lunch, the skies cleared, so we decided to head back up to the lighthouse, this time taking the mountain route (just a big hill) but as we gained elevation, we discovered this amazing looking beach in the distance, so changed plans and headed there.  It was so nice.  Almost no one there:

When we got there, we doffed out boots and dipped our feet in the Atlantic:

Jan made two of these and we couldn't figure which was better, so we left both in:
