This is totally different from what I had in mind – but nevertheless an interesting idea. I did not know such a specialised place existedArtic Alex,
Perhaps this might be a good spot for you.

Buen camino!
Thank you!A Coruna? An interesting town with good sea views and lots of options for accommodation and food. Very easy to reach from Santiago. There seems to be a large spa complex in town - I haven't visited it myself but it is now on my to-do list for the future!
Thank youIf you want a spa, close to Asturias airport (called Oviedo airport although it doesn't seem that close) in Soto del Barco there is the Palacio de la Magdalena-- it was once the Bishop of Oviedo's summer palace (bishops don't seem to have summer palaces much these days...). San Vicente de la Barquera is another seaside town with sea views and good restaurants. Asturias has plenty of small seaside towns, and all easily reached by FEVE, the local commuter train which runs from Ribadeo to Saint Sebastian.
You are doing a good job with advertising there ...I also recommend A Coruña.
It's half an hour by train from Santiago, and there's so much to do there!
Well, it is remotely connected to pilgrimage. It is connected to a specific pilgrimage ending in Santiago de Compostela. If this is too far away from the core theme of the forum, then the extension to Fisterra should not be discussed either. Nor should people share images of their local walks in the where-did-you-walk locally threads most of which are not pilgrimage related at all – still we do it and even enjoy it.Kick me off if I offend rules, but this seems to me to be a thread more suited to TripAdvisor than anything remotely relating to pilgrimage.
I second this vote for Gijon. My husband and I spent 10 days there in 2019 and fell in love with it. Not a tourist town but beautiful and so-livable. I envy the people who get to live there.My recommendation is Gijon, on the Atlantic coast in Asturias. It is a beautiful beachside city with amazing coastal walks, great restaurants and cafes, a marina district, underground Roman ruins and lots of accommodation options especially AirBnb ones. We walked through Gijon on the Camino Norte and fell in love with the city and came back and spent a month there, living in the old district of Cimadevilla. We met and made many friends who took great pride in showing off their city. And, if you have a sweet tooth, Gijon has the most pastellarias and confitarias in Spain. What's not to love about all that!
Point taken - However I have really appreciated this thread. For me the integration days after Camino are just as much a part of the pilgrimage as the Way itself. And now I know of a few places near Santiago where I can take time for rest and reflection before I return home to post Camino life.Kick me off if I offend rules, but this seems to me to be a thread more suited to TripAdvisor than anything remotely relating to pilgrimage.
