Day 37 Arca to Santiago de Compostela

The final stretch into Santiago was noisy and joyful, although I did manage to find a peaceful spot for a coffee break. Mixed feelings as ever coming to the end of a Camino, and some sad news from home about the not unexpected death of a neighbour at just 51.

I went to the evening Pilgrims’ Mass in the Cathedral after having eaten at 6pm, I’m not sure it was an extremely late lunch or what but it was tasty and filling, and I had the company of an Austrian woman who has also just finished del Norte and who I hadn’t met until today.

I’m quite looking forward to a lie in tomorrow morning and a relaxed breakfast.
