5th Week - Triacastela to Santiago

Galacia Quiet Countryside

This lovely countryside panoramic was when we were within about 60 miles of getting to Santiago. It is between the cities of Sarria and Portomarin.

Galacia Woodlands

The forests scene was taken about 40 miles before we arrived in Santiago. Between the cities of Palas De Rei and Melide.

Off The Beaten Path

When I was walking the Camino, I often would walk off the path if I saw something that attracted my attention. I found this forest scene on the walk between Sarria and Portomarin. This is a panoramic image and is a 2.5 to 1 ratio.

Muxia Storming

The majority of the Camino pilgrims end their walk at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Some of the pilgrims continue walking 3 more days to the ocean on the west coast of Spain. We decided to take a tour bus to the ocean at a city called Muxia.

Finesterre - The End of The World

The end of the Camino de Santiago officially ends at the city of Finesterre, called the end of the world. The Romans built roads and conquered Spain till the reached the Atlantic Ocean. At that point, the declared the had reached the end of the world. This image is from the viewpoint many go to in Finesterre.

Country Pathways

There was some wonderful country walking paths to walk on the Camino. This tree certainly got my attention. I stitch about 6 images together to get this full image . There are some big trees left in Spain.

Eucalpytus - Watch Them Grow!

This grove of Eucalyptus trees was on our last day of walking. They are not native trees and are a crop tree. They grow very fast and are easy to harvest. The problem is they take lots of water. This has turned out to be a real problem for Spain.
