What’s left to say? I spent the following day in Fisterra as my third and final rest day (Leon, SdC and Fisterra).

Fisterra is a great place to visit in general. To enjoy it at the end 5 weeks of pilgrimage was a delicious bonus.

I wanted to give a good look at the other side of the pond, and on my second day in Fisterra I ventures across a neighborhood to find the “real” beach facing the Atlantic Ocean. I was an important day, and that’s a story for another time.

Two days after touching the ocean, I woke up in Santiago de Compostela to go to the airport.

Some of my “shift” colleagues had only just arrived; others had given up. I randomly stumbled upon no less than four of my camino friends on my way to the airport, and that was the best possible way to complete the experience.

Is the Camino worth all this effort?

Facing your True Self

In the middle of the Meseta, the right questions came to me, and by searching for the answers I finally achieved what few could claim: I met myself, and had a thorough discussion.

Outro

What can I say: for me the Camino de Santiago has been a transformational experience, and I can do little more than recall my own instance of it. I can tell you where I walked, what I ate and what I thought, but words can’t really tell how I felt every step of the way.
The only way to “close” your story with the Camino is to do it from start to end – possibly, at least from SJPP to Fisterra. This worked well for me, you might be happier with a shorter journey.

After all these faces, kilometers, albergues, one thing is still clear:

The best is yet to come

I wish you all the best for your own life journey. The Camino is different for each of us, and I hope you’ll find a way to “close” yours.
