Galicia and Finistere - End of the world again!

Set off to drive round part of the Rias via Ribaveria (where there was a huge market), Noia and Muros in light rain. However it soon brightened up to show the super coastal scenery at its best. Reached Finistere in the late afternoon where the sun was still shining and hardly any breeze - not quite the image for the Costa del Morte! Drove up the steep access to the lighthouse at Cape Finistere, which was thought to be the end of the world and final destination for many pilgrims to Santiago, if they still had the energy. We saw a few who had cycled and some mainly Spanish tourists, had a coffee and headed north for a site on the north coast close to A Coruna. Arrived at 7-30 after driving 160 miles. Just us and a Belgium couple - it would be a lovely little site, if it wasn't pissing down with rain.
