NicP, yeah I liked finesterra. We walked to negriera then Oliviera, then on to muxia and finally finesterre. I'm afraid the memories are haunting though. It was a very deep romance and was a miserable year really since then. I'd love to stay a night or two with my friends this time. I left them last year and walked on alone with the special friend. I felt I lost some of the experience last time as everything was like a surreal fog.
I definitely can't stay in negriera or Olviera. The memories would just be too much. I'm trying to remember the name of a place that someone recommended walking to after santiago. I think this time I'll stay in Monto de Gozo. Then push on past santiago.
But I'm going to plan provisionally, then allow for Camino life to happen. I'd like to make it to finesterre with my old friend, who walked the last three caminos with me. I abandoned him last year to be with someone that was special at that time. Last years Camino taught me some very , very hard lessons. I hope this one is kinder. Sometimes what we find isn't always what we are hoping for, but I guess life goes on. There's always the next day.
Thanks for your advice.
