Creeping Clouds

While I was watching the sunset in Finisterra, I saw those clouds creeping from behind. I climbed a few rocks to take a nice shot without many people showing up in the photo and an old woman was sitting next to me watching silently.

"It's going to rain tomorrow".

I looked at her with a smile and said: "Do you think so?"

She raised a finger towards the clouds and replied: "When the clouds are creeping in the sky like this, it means it's going to rain the next day".

I thanked her and went back to join my friends. The next day, it rained heavily for hours till late at night.

And so far, everytime I see these clouds, I remember the old lady, and what she told me has yet to be proven wrong to me :)

Town of Cee

Usually, most pilgrims end the Camino de Santiago in the town of Santiago de Compostella, in front of the Cathedral where supposedly lie the remains of St. James.

But the Camino doesn't really end here, it continues up to Finisterra, the "end of the World" where they say a shepherd found the body of St. James. It is also called the "Pagan route", as it was a pilgrimage route way before Christianity.

On my first Camino, I stopped in Santiago due to lack of time. On my second pilgrimage, I decided to go all the way to Finisterra.. And I did not regret it.

The way is really beautiful with amazing sceneries along the Atlantic Ocean and many towns perched on the hills, bathing under a beautiful sun.

This is the town of Cee, about 12km before "point 0", the end of the world. It's a fairly quiet and peaceful town with many fishermen of course.

For all who walk on the St. James way, my advice would be: Go all the way to Finisterra, it's only 3 more days walk and it's an amazing place to be.
