Baiona to Muxía

This morning before we left the Parador of Baiona we walked the coastal path around the castle walls. they have scaffolding up and are cleaning the walls in a couple of places. It is interesting to see what a difference the cleaning makes.

You can really see the before cleaning / after cleaning difference.

We also saw a lot of people out fishing and some people scraping some kind of mollusk off the rocks,

We have seen a lot of pelegrinos (pilgrims) the last few days. They were all on the Camino de Santiago from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. This morning when we left Baiona we drove to Santiago de Compostela. We parked and walked to the main square. The cathedral in the square is the end destination of the Camino.

We went into the cathedral and looked around, then stopped for coffee at a nearby bar.

Then we got back in the car and drove west to Muxía. The nearby parador has only been open since 2022. It is very modern and is in a beautiful spot.

For dinner we had a great dinner in the Parador Restaurant.
