Thanks for that Falcon.There are few opportunities, and no pools are heated. Those who do swim usually just wear a pair of their hiking shorts.
Indeed: Be sure to walk to the other (north) side of Finisterre: Nice walkway there and a great, peaceful beach!The entire Atlantic Ocean awaits at Finisterre.
Hi everyone .... was just wondering what (if any) swimming opportunities are available on the CF, and if it's worthwhile packing togs/swimmers/cozzie/swimsuit (depending on where you come from!).
Thanks so much to you all for your swimming info .... I've noted them all down for future reference. Hopefully I'll get to use some/all in September. Cheers, Trish. xxxI had some good swims on the Norte alright, though it was in Apr/May and many thought I was nuts (same as do back home) on the CF I got in in Boadillo (SEp/Oct in a heatwave) BUT my foot got an infection and I think it was the pool..not too clean in those hot conditions, the rivers are great options, sports bra and pants will do you?
There are some alberques that have swimming pools, they are noted in the guide books. Depending on the time of year, you could probably swim in some of the rivers you will cross, and of course if you go to the ocean there is a great beach just before you reach Fisterra.Hi everyone .... was just wondering what (if any) swimming opportunities are available on the CF, and if it's worthwhile packing togs/swimmers/cozzie/swimsuit (depending on where you come from!).
