Oh what to do with 2 spare days?!

Time of past OR future Camino
April/May 2015 (Ponferrada to SdC)
I'll be walking from Ponferrada to SdC in late April/early May and if all goes to plan (fingers crossed!) I'll be left with pretty much 2 days spare at the end. Would arrive in SdC after walking on a Thursday and will be flying home on the Sunday afternoon. What are your thoughts about what is realistically possible/achievable/recommended to do with these 2 days that I have spare? I was contemplating a bus trip to either Muxia or Finisterre if it's possible (?)

What would you suggest?

Thank you,
Sarah
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
There is enough to see and do in Santiago to keep a person busy for 2 days.
I agree with Alex, relax and enjoy NOT having to get up and walk :)

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

"... if all goes to plan ..." - exactly, BUT why not just take it as it comes and spread those two days on the route? I don't wish you any problem, but you never know... That's why I would recommend to just go and take it as it comes. Sometimes it's very nice to have the exact plan and also know that there are days in reserve until return flight ;)

Ultreia!
 
Why not wait and see what the World offers you along the walk? Don't be too concerned over the closed door not to see the open window!
 
Muxia over night trip. You can spend hours on the rocks at the point of the town meditating on your Camino, and enjoying the freshest sea food you will ever taste. Try the percebes.

Santiago has many interesting sites to visit. "El Santiago oculto de los Peregrinos" in English can be obtained at the tourist office. A walk along the Rio Sarela (mills) is relaxing. A more vigourous walk up the mountain to the radio masts allows spectacular views over the town and region. Two days filled:)

Buen Camino
