Thanks, Faith. That’s similar to how I made my decision on whether or not to take the Spiritual Variant. I’d reflected a fair bit in advance, it it was only once I reached the literal fork in the road, as it were, that I stood there a while, and fully decided.Hi Lorne,
If I were you, I'd get into Santiago first and then plan next steps. You may find you just want to rest and enjoy SdC, or a bus might be exactly what you need. Or you may feel more motivation and health to keep walking. I think thoughts on what to do for your next chapter will come once you've settled into closing out this one (walking into Santiago). Buen Camino!
Faith

I’m torn, I tell you!
Camino from Porto to Santiago is about to end. Had planned to walk to the sea afterwards (Finisterre or Muxia, not sure). I’d have four days to do it. Been walking with a mild cold (just congestion) for a number of days. Feeling worn down a bit, but I’m still ticking. Want to keep walking. My body says maybe the sea can wait for another time, or that I should bus out to the coast and just walk from Muxia to Finisterre or vice-versa. But taking a bus feels like an unpoetic conclusion.
Not expecting answers, but I’d welcome some commiseration. And what the heck, if you DO have the answer, don’t be shy about spilling
Take the dang bus. It's not a very great or scenic walk anyway. Too isolated and not many services. Take the bus to Finisterre, walk to the ) KM marker and walk or take bus to Muxia and walk out to lighthouse. That is very pretty, IMOI’m torn, I tell you!

You can always just edit your post to correct misspells...I do it to mine as needed!Darn. That was supposed to be its, not it’s.
Well I guess this illustrates how we all have unique tastes. I decided to go for it, and am now walking. Though really long, I found a great deal of the walk between Negreira and Oliveira beautiful, even breathtaking. I guess it helps that I have a thing for prairie, rolling hills and big skyTake the dang bus. It's not a very great or scenic walk anyway. Too isolated and not many services.

I'm glad that you went for it. For me, when I walked, Santiago wasn't my ultimate destination. I wanted to walk to "the end of the earth". And despite being sick, I was happy that I did it.Well I guess this illustrates how we all have unique tastes. I decided to go for it, and am now walking.

I have walked to Muxia (2014) and to Finisterre (2x in 1017). I have also bussed to Finisterre 2x (2014 and 2017) (ok, ... so I leave a lot of time to enjoy myself after doing the CF)I’m torn, I tell you!

Just take the excursion bus... it’s 38 euros, all day adventure, well worth the $$$, relax, enjoy and congratulations!! You can do Finisterre/Muxia another time!! I was done at Santiago, but took bus tour to Finisterre, then took city bus to Finisterre and stayed at Oceanus hostel for two days, walked to the the end of the world and celebrated with friends at sunset!I’m torn, I tell you!

I heard that from my friends too, but had to go for it.... I listened to my body, and my other friends! So I celebrated with friends in Santiago too!!Take the dang bus.

When I left Finisterre I tried to walk back to Santiago, but made it to Cee, I wasn’t feeling it.I’m torn, I tell you!
