You should add another option in your poll which is something like "none of the above" or "never" because my Camino is a never ending experience!!!...
Born to Walk, Forced to Work. Know the feeling.From the journey I walked I hope it never ends - its' just this blasted job I have that keeps me home! Very good question as I was suprised how many pilgrims carried on after we had reached Santiago. Seems like I had missed something by not carrying on - I will for sure the next time! I agree with SYates and the feelings we had as went home and thought about our journey.

Moi aussiI may be dense, but I took the question to be the physical end of walking the camino, not some philosophical end. Like I said, I may be the dense one here.

I went from Santiago to Finesterre on foot with friends that I met on the way...I carried a scoop each of ashes from five loved pets over the years to throw into the water. I enjoyed Finesterre BUT quickly realized that it was not the place for me to throw the ashes. I still throw the ashes into, I do not really know why...In a thunderstorm I left for Muxia by myself hoping that was the place...and it was.
Muxia was the end of my Camino. I loved every single step of my Camino, never for a nano second did I wish to be anywhere else on this Earth during the whole trip.
Muxia was a wind down for me...a peace, a personal peace that grounded me and prepared me for my transition home.
I got on that bus from Muxia back to Santiago and it was my only lost feelings of the trip, I felt like Santiago was no longer "mine" and worried about the feelings that would come over me coming back after I had my celebrations just the week before.
How fortunate I was to run into one of the dearest people of my Camino...a friend who I lost on day five...ran right into him with about two hours to go till I caught the plane.
The Camino provided...and glad that I walked thru Santiago in those last few hours.
Don't misunderstood I loved Finesterre it just didn't feel like the resting place for my puppies ashes. Muxia provided a rainstorm and wind when I threw them in and minutes later a RAINBOW!!!!!
Just read a post in another thread where the poster mentioned that the end of the Camino for them is Santiago. It was something I wondered about too when planning my trip. On the assumption that every single Camino is an end to itself and that it ends (physically-speaking) in one of three locations; was it at the Cathedral in Santiago, or should I go on to Finisterra or even Muxia? Personally, I decided that my Way would end in Santiago too, at the Cathedral, even though I walked for "religious and other" reasons.
This is a simple question and a simple poll. Not interested in the why of why people choose one over the other, just wondering what your answer is.
EDIT: Sorry Ivar, I meant to post this thread in the Miscellaneous Section.
I'll borrow a line from Bob Dylan:
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
The original post/questionnaire offered just three physical end points. The question was not really philosophical!!We could debate ad infinitum as to where the Camino "ends."
Ah yes, Ivar; but for many of us it's difficult to separate the two.The original post/questionnaire offered just three physical end points. The question was not really philosophical!!
